TV Teacher TV Teacher’s Alphabet Beats are fun, educational videos designed to help all children, but especially those with strong visual systems, learn to write the alphabet. In these completely unique videos, Miss Marnie demonstrates the actual writing sequence for a letter both on the board and on a sheet of paper. Letter formation is always paired with catchy rhythmic chants that parallel the actual writing strokes. But more than just writing, each letter is its own 5 minute chapter and includes the writing demonstrations/exercises along with 8-10 vocabulary words and basic learning concepts, i.e. body parts, spatial concepts, animals, social and sensory interactions, etc. The great visuals and quality production, along with the strong auditory and visual repetition, combine to make this a fun, engaging and highly effective means for teaching handwriting!
