Channie's was born from one mom's struggle with helping her son learn how to write. She knew he needed something different, and she created Channie's Visual Handwriting. Her products are even sold at Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby!
What makes Channie's different from other handwriting products is:
1. Blocks for consistent letter size
2. Double vertical lines to guide proper spacing
3. Middle green shade helps in lowercase placement and writing in straight lines and...
4. The ability to self correct when writing outside the lines
We received and used two flashcard sets. The first set we received were for sight words.
As you can see, this is a large set. It includes 100 of your child's first sight words. The size and the quality of the cards are really good for toddlers and preschoolers. They are very sturdy, and being able to erase and use them over and over again makes them very valuable. You don't have to go through workbooks or pieces of paper. Plus, it always seems more fun to draw and erase! This set runs for $16.95.
The second set of flashcards we received were for the alphabet and numbers.
This set includes 26 alphabets cards with corresponding letter words and 10 number cards. This set is the same good quality of the sight word set. This set is $15.95
I think the prices of the sets are really good. The cards are bigger than most flash cards, the colors are very vibrant, and the quality is really good. I don't worry about Brently bending them or tearing them up.
You can use these cards on their own or you can use them along side of whatever other programs you are using. If you are learning the letters or the sounds, you can pull these out to reinforce the letter/sound you are currently working on. You can use these, obviously, to practice how to write the letters and not have to go through a ton of handwriting practice pages.
The sight word set would be great to use along side your spelling program, especially when you are learning to read the sight words!
Here is a video of Brently using some of the flash cards and what he thinks about them:
If you prefer a traditional workbook or paper style for learning to write, you can certainly get those from Channie's as well. They include the same unique blocks and lines for learning to write as the flashcards do.
They have writing products for Pre-K up to the 5th grade, including cursive. They also have these awesome, shorter pencils that I would love to try!
Don't those look really cool??
They also have math workbooks for K-3rd grade.
There are also bundles and classroom packs available.
There are a lot of other crew members that reviewed Channie's products. Some of them reviewed some of the math products as well if you are interested in those. Be sure to go and check out all of the other reviews.
