IMSE and HWT
Does anyone have experience with teaching IMSE OG for phonics and using Handwriting Without Tears for handwriting with Kindergarten? I’m trained in both and while I LOVE IMSE and have taught using OG my entire career, the house and green crayon/ screen just does not do a good enough job for my students with teaching proper handwriting. HWT is so much better. I’ve done HWT alongside IMSE for 1st and I kept handwriting as its own 10-15 minute block separate from phonics. For K I don’t think I could do the same. Should I reorganize HWT and go in IMSE order? Or would it be better to keep them in two different blocks and stick with their original orders? I teach the old school IMSE way (following the newer letter order) doing 2-3 letters/ concepts per week instead of the new 1 letter or concept per week.
