HANDWRITING REPAIR C: Fry Heroes - Using motor learning principles for blocked and random practice at the phrase and sentence level.
Once children have developed inefficient motor habits for writing, it can be difficult for them to re-learn new patterns of movement. Even in occupational therapy, we can teach a child conventional handwriting formations, but as soon as they go back to their classrooms, they often use their old letters that start at the bottom, go the wrong direction, are slow to produce, and more importantly are difficult to read. We all know students who have abundant ideas to share, but because of poor handwriting skills, are reluctant to write.
After students re-learn letter formations and are able to write short words maintaining correct letter formations, they still often do not have sufficient automaticity to use re-learned letters in their day-to-day writing. HANDWRITING REPAIR C: Fry Heroes implements Motor Learning Principles using “blocked” and “random” practice of phrases and sentences to build handwriting automaticity. This research-based method is pivotal in changing handwriting habits of children with and without visual-motor delays, through the 10th grade, including students with dysgraphia, learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism. Using these simple strategies, I am able to make a real difference in helping clients gain automaticity of handwriting. And you will too!

Fry Heroes Handwriting Interventions do not teach letter formations. This resource is for the student who knows how to make conventional letter formations, can maintain formations when writing short words, but is not able to maintain correct formations when writing sentences.
Fry Heroes is not a glitzy creative product. It is a practical application of research-based Motor Learning Principles that I have found extremely useful for the repair of inefficient handwriting habits. Do not purchase this product unless you are interested in providing a one-to-one intervention at least 2 times per week for a minimum of 10 weeks.
Sequence of Interventions:
A: Re-Teaching Letter Formations
B: Blocked Practice at the Word Level
C: Blocked and Random Practice at the Phrase Level
