BFH, A Manual For Fluent Handwriting by Nan Jay Barchowsky

by Nan Jay Barchowsky

BFH, a Manual for Fluent Handwriting, a printed manual with a CD-ROM, evolved from elementary classroom experience.

The manual is the heart of the BFH program. Here you will find all you need in order to learn and teach handwriting effectively, or to remediate your handwriting. Detailed information regarding recommended posture, character formation, problem solving, etc. is in the printed manual. It is the reference for the material on the CD-ROM.

The CD-ROM is a unique, cross-platform, interactive means of providing supplements to the BFH program. Eliminated is the clutter and expense of a teacher's manual and a stack of workbooks for every class. There is just the manual and a CD-ROM. Everything that might be in workbooks is on the CD to be printed out for students. You are not restricted to any one sequence of exemplars. You can meet your needs, or the needs of students with a selection of more than 225 pages, and many suggestions for handwriting related activities. You will find the CD more instructive, and much more fun than static, boring, trace-and-copy workbooks.

You can edit exemplars. If the default text on a page you want to use has little meaning or interest to students, you can change the text to make it relevant for them. Too often, the text and illustrations in workbooks have no meaning for students, and they may be a bit trite as well.
