Occupational Therapist Review of Callirobics

by Lynda
(Missouri City Texas)

Product: Callirobics
Subject: Callirobics for 4 to 7 year olds
Levels Used: Preschool and early elementary
Dates Used: Last 10 years

Likes: The music adds novelty and fun to the exercises which involve writing strokes not the actual letters. This allows for development of the rhythm for writing especially with cursive as well as the development of your little hand muscles which hold the pencil and move during writing. Its a great way to prepare a child for writing: "warm up exercises".

Dislikes: Some children find the exercises tedious if they have trouble staying seated. We just shorten the assignment and concentrate on the music with a rapid beat!
