CEW - Letter Formation

Picture
In CEW, students write letters using visual templates while listening to music that simulates the movements needed to form the letters.  This combination of visual templates and auditory guides strengthens the visual spatial foundations related to writing.
 
Keeping relationships and emotional connection at the forefront, CEW classes begin as a group.  Students participate in whole body movements to the beat of music to help them identify the top, middle, bottom, left, and right parts of their bodies – all important foundational concepts to writing.  They then move their shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers to a song that helps them isolate the body parts used when writing.  Lastly, gross motor movements are performed with a partner (called “Mirror Movements”) that correlate with foundational writing strokes – vertical line, horizontal line, curves, and diagonals.  The music is comprised of the same tones as the music that is used for each letter.
