The SIZE MATTERS HANDWRITING PROGRAM (SMHP) is the most effective method of encouraging printing uniformity and competence. It is the broad image, rather than a typeface, that allows youngsters to view their writing as a whole, rather than just individual letters. Children understand what they’re striving for and how to get there by using simple core ideas and ‘tactile’ graphics.

The (SMHP) is a concept-driven, practical program that may be quickly integrated into the curriculum with little to no cost. Even better, progress tracking is quick and easy. SMHP can be used in a variety of ways, including a comprehensive curriculum, therapeutic intervention, home program, RTI adjunct, collaborative model, and center time activity. Teachers who are already overburdened see that changes in readability occur quickly and significantly.

SMHP is a novel approach to teaching and correcting handwriting. It makes use of vocabulary from current literacy, social studies, science, and math curricula. While learning the curriculum subject, students practice printing words, phrases, and sentences. Never before has skill learning, practice, and transfer been so simple and enjoyable. Most significantly, it works and has been demonstrated…. because in terms of tidy printing…. Size Does Matter!
