* Gutenberg Project An online

* Handwriting without Tears - a great
recommended program. Used successfully with children with many special
issues. I got mine on 1/23/01, and I'm already thrilled.
Everything's clear, easy and simple. The teacher's guides have way to much
instruction for just about anything that could go wrong, ever. This woman
is an Occupational Therapist, and discusses several different issues. It
is rather pricey for what it is (black and white workbooks with stapled
bindings) - but if it goes on like it started, it will be very worth it!

children do not finish the book before they are reading. Plus, I've found

program - I'll keep looking for those.
