The "Monkey Swing" letter formation bundle was created by an occupational therapist to help children practice the letter formation, which is guided by the formation of the “monkey swing” writing pattern. It involves letters formed by a downward movement, turn and upward movement of the pencil and starts in the same position or orientation.

To prevent letter confusion and reversals, letters must always start in the right place and be formed correctly. When children learn to form their letters in a fun, multi-sensory way, the unnecessary reversal of letters can be reduced or avoided. Proper letter formation supports better spacing of written work. This resource is often used in conjunction with the Funky Monkey, Bunny Hop and Zig Zag letter formation programs. They can be bought separately or as an bundle.

This bundle includes a classroom poster, animated PowerPoint presentation, a short video explanation, playdough mats, graded worksheets, perceptual and auditory activities for use in the classroom, home, or therapy.

Guidelines for use are included. The program can be downloaded immediately after purchase, and worksheets may be copied for use in the classroom.
