Description of the Raise the Roof Packet:
✏️ Methodologies to help children:
• Transition from 3-lined primary paper to standard two-line notebook paper.
• Learn several subtleties of mature handwriting using “Raise the Roof” method.
• Increase the speed of legible automatic printing with the use of a periodic alphabet race activity and charting tool.
• Use the principles of the three spaces of writing to write legibly in open spaces without lines.
• Review correct lowercase letter formations within the four letter groupings, with an emphasis on correct top-to-bottom letter formation.
• Learn how to use a conventions checklist to self-monitor legibility and use of writing conventions. This checklist is especially useful for children who need support to maintain legibility in their daily writing after they have finished Raise the Roof instruction.
✏️ Why does Raise the Roof work so well?
• Progress through the book is narrated by fun cartoon characters who offer handwriting tips and prompt students to self-check their work.
• Writing prompts are incorporated between lessons to help students generalize skills rather than just practice copying skills.
• Children learn to self-check through the gradual introduction of a checklist.
• Children are motivated to improve their scores through the use of a research-based, self-charting, progress-monitoring system.
