Pencil Grip - Reviewer: nova49deanne 12/30/09 12:04 PM EST
Full Comment: This was a very interesting topic. I was amazed that someone actually cared to address how children held their pencils. The professor compared the way the children held the pencils like holding a mouse. I found that to be true as my grandson who is 5 years old knows how to maneuver a computer better than he knows how to hold a pencil. The posture is also very important in order to be able to write well. Some children tend to sit and almost lie on top of their paper. As a student who is pursuing a Masters in Elementary Education, I find all this information that was provided by the professor to be very useful in my field. This program would be very beneficial if it went on the television so other audiences can be informed. Excellent job! Deanne S.

Pencil Grip and the Student - Reviewer: prek_miami 12/29/09 10:44 AM EST
Full Comment: Pencil grip is a big problem for most students. I do not believe that our children have been taught how to hold a pencil the correct way. It is not a priority for most educators these days. But, it should be. I began teaching my students how to hold a pencil the correct way when I first started teaching in private school. Our principal was sort of "old school" and embedded this in every teacher over and over. It became first nature to me and still is. Dr. Hebert I agree with you when you talk about the amount time it took to incorrectly do something verses the time it takes to correct it. I am going to try the cotton ball technique with my students and also share it with my kindergarten team. I know we will make a difference in our students as they continue to perform. It may seem small but the overall success will show.

Correct Pencil Grip - Reviewer: love_my_job 12/15/09 06:59 AM EST
Full Comment: I really enjoyed listening to this episode. I have a student who is struggling with his penmanship and believe it is due to his pencil grip. My first thought was to try the preformed pencil grips mentioned, but I will try the cotton ball method first. Dr. Hebert has lots of great ideas in her episodes as well as on her websites. I'm looking forward to learning more!

Tips on Spelling - Reviewer: fish1108 12/06/09 06:20 PM EST
Full Comment: Great show on Spelling. This show is a great source for both parents and teachers of young children developing the skills to spell correctly. I agree with balancing both approaches of invented and conventional spelling techniques. Great tips for parents. I am looking forward to listening to more of Dr. Hebert's Radio shows!

Nice Launch! - Reviewer: Teacher_Monkey 10/25/09 08:43 PM EDT
Full Comment: You covered some important concerns to address when working with beginners who are struggling as well as some other essential guidelines such as the importance of guiding students to frequent victories no matter how small. They need the hope and encouragement that comes from that. I look forward to future casts.
