Imagine being one of the 33% of students who struggle with writing letters and numbers. This inability or difficulty is called dysgraphia. Children who suffer from dysgraphia often earn the reputation of being lazy or dumb. However, these children, like all children, want to succeed.

For over a decade, Cheri Dotterer has observed children with these challenges in school systems across the world.

In this book, you will discover:•How the brain and body work together to create neural pathways for learning•How different environmental features interfere with learning•How to incorporate movement strategies into teaching both spelling and vocabulary in the regular education classroom•How to discuss goals, accommodations, and modifications for special education Individualized Education Programs (IEP) or 504 plans.Eliminate stress today by including these adaptive techniques into your classroom and home today!

	KM 12900KM 12900 How to Tell a Story Grade Lvl: PI Author: Nayeri, Daniel Length: 0 Copyright: 2015 Introducing storytelling package including a 144-page book (small paperback) paired with a collection of 20 six-sided, beautifully illustrated storytelling cubes that make it easy for any imaginative child to start creating wonderful stories. Roll the blocks to set the imagination for some creative writing opportunities. The book is a guide to the principles of creative storytelling. It covers the essential elements like conflict--that thing that no one likes in real life, but without which no story could ever start--characters, motivation, dialogue, theme, and, of course, the climax. As you turn the pages, you'll be prompted to roll the story blocks. And that's when the magic starts to happen. The blocks are coded by color, each loosely associated with a part of speech. A simple exercise about motivation, for example, asks the reader to roll the blocks and find one red block (person or animal) "who wanted nothing more in this world than to" one green block (action). Depending on the outcome, the reader might end up telling a tale of a cowboy who just wanted to dance or a mummy who wanted to race cars. How to Tell a Story combines the cleverness of Mad Libs with the compelling fun of storytelling cubes. Its exercises and games will have readers mastering the basics of storytelling while exercising their creative muscles. And who knows where that journey will end? Supports ELA writing standards for learners as well as a fun makerspace option. IL 2-5.	How to Tell a Story PI
