Description

If you have students that are still making their descendent letters on the line, not below, this is the resource you need.

The Dirty Five concept makes descendent letters explicit and memorable.Students relate immediately. Parents even pause and give it the just right attention because it's borderline risqué when the child tells them that" dog" is a dirty word.

A neurodivergent mind needs novelty and interest to engage and this seems to light up those centers like no other silly strategy I have used. 

For younger students , I have created a story and video that has a happy ending about the "Dirty Five" . They are a considerate bunch. For "older students", third graders, I simply describe them as a group of misfit rule breakers .

"The Dirty Five letters are a gang or rule breakers. They are the only letters that break the rule, they do not stay on the writing line.They kick you out of the dirt with their tails." I tell them they must beware of the "Dirty Five" and put up a sign. Some of the more mature students get the pun, works just as well.

Visual supports are attached in this bundle. Designed by a school based OT and students tesedt for two decades.
