Traffic Light Lines

Students constantly stream into Kimberly Lane's occupational therapy practice needing help with poor handwriting.

While it might not be the first challenge parents and teachers think of needing to help children overcome, handwriting is a critical skill for students to learn. Teachers can't assess what students know if they can't communicate clearly.

In this simple program geared for preschool-level students to students on a second-grade development level, Lane shares the traffic light line method for learning handwriting-an easy approach for parents, teachers, occupational therapists, and children to understand.

Early on in life, children say "go" when the traffic light turns green, and it's easy for them to envision a traffic light, which is what makes this program so wonderful. Students will learn how to practice letters in various media, recall how to form letters, and enhance their visual motor skills along the way.

The method is easy to teach, easy to learn, fast, effective, and inexpensive. So start helping children master handwriting, and position them to succeed with the traffic light line method
