The first letters they learn are: r, n, m, h, b, p. This is the first book in the Pirate Handwriting series.Messy maps are hard to read. The pirates need to work on their letter formation. The lowercase letters are grouped in an Orton-Gillingham style to help improve muscle memory. The storybook-style letter instruction in this book presents a sensory experience designed to stimulate the brain for learning and prevent common letter reversal errors. These letters are grouped by similar starting points and down strokes to speed up the handwriting process and improve letter print recognition for reading. The letter r, is the key to the common letter shape of this book. Paired with a fun and memorable story to engage the interests of young students the letter r is also a helpful wordplay to this pirate-themed letter formation series. Each book in the series uses a found object in the sand to help guide the pirates while making that group of letters. Special attention is paid to the vowel letters in the series. A colorful bird in the story points out that this group of letters has no vowels. Designed with early education in mind, this book helps children develop fine motor skills and learn the foundational skills of letter formation.
