Alternative pencils galore ✏️ 📓
We were lucky enough to hear Gretchen Hansler from @ihopenyc and @carolineramseymusselwhite talk about alternative pencils at #ATIA2024 and we’ve got a bit of their wisdom to share with you!
⭐️ Choose alternative pencils based on student’s communication and different needs
⭐️ Try different alternative pencils to find the right one
⭐️ Alternative pencils MUST have all 26 letters
⭐️ 🙅🏻♀️ no more hand over hand! There’s lots of ways to give students the ability to write without using hand over hand
⭐️ An alternative pencil can also be used orally if that works better for the student!
⭐️ Make sure to use a simple font like Century Gothic
Check out some alternative pencil examples in the pictures!
