The Lettering
System
The
straight line Unblocked! lettering style is specifically
matched to the strengths and weaknesses of the dysgraphic
student. This is a logical, legible lettering system (pat.
pending) that uses no curves. Rather than forcing a student
to conform to an alphabet style that is dysfunctional for
him, its easily recognizable letters will meet the
student’s printing needs in the real world.
Who should use
"Unblocked!"?
Unblocked!
is designed for the student diagnosed as dysgraphic. It
should not be used for students that are merely a little slow
in writing.
The Letter-Box
System
Dysgraphic
students usually have a great deal of trouble in placement as
well as letter formation. Our letter-box system gives full
guideline support, both horizontally and vertically. The
double box helps keep the letter sizing conceptually clear:
the letter goes on the box. The student first traces over the
light text, then copies it into the empty boxes below. As the
student progresses, the letter-boxes get smaller, progressing
to more standard sizes. At the end of the course,
transitional pages help the student graduate to normal lined
paper.

The Physical
Workbook
We have
made this workbook of higher physical quality than is common
for a workbook. Your child is already struggling and we feel
that he should have to deal with further frustrations from
"cost reductions" by the publisher.
- It is printed on heavy
paper (24 pound) to eliminate bleed-through.
- It is 8-1/2 x 11 with
horizontal orientation to allow large lettering.
- It is plastic coil
bound (real coil, not that cheap comb that comes
apart) which lays flat, preventing the pages from
flipping up.
