4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Jennifer Crebbin has given us a thoughtful, insightful way to teach children how to write the letters of the Alphabet. Since the way we write is the way we think, this book provides a strong foundation in establishing clear, positive, confident attitudes. Using the Vimala Alphabet, children learn to form letters in a healthy, forward-thinking way. Soul Development Through Handwriting has a wealth of information, covering everything from basic pen grip to the genuine qualities of the letters. Practice sheets are included. Within and beyond the Waldorf community, this is a valuable resource for teachers and parents everywhere.
