ABSTRACT:
An educational method for teaching written composition is demonstrated within a series of hand-held, rectangular manipulatives encoded with raised, colored indicia. Representing a foundation from which all types of writing may be explored, the manipulatives have been so designed that continuity of theme and flow of composition is ensured. Each rectangular manipulative symbolizes a paragraph in written composition. Colored bands framing the manipulatives identify paragraph themes and subsequent order within a composition. The raised, color-coded indicia represent key sentences within a paragraph and is so ordered as to clearly outline proper sentence sequencing. The manipulatives, used individually or interactively, provide a focus for critical elements of successful writing through enjoyable visual and tactile stimulation. Traditional writing concepts and language structure rules are reinforced and solidified in an objective, non-threatening manner. This innovative educational method has cross-curricula applications and may be taught to groups or personally tailored to address the specific needs of individuals. Freedom of expression, individual writing style and creativity are provided within the theory and application of this invention,
