If they are having difficulties ask them to do any of the following:-
- Ask “What do you need to do to make the word/letters clear and still?”;
- Break the word into groups of up to three letters and build your picture group by group;
- Make any unclear letters or groups stand out by making them look different than the others in some way – e.g. bigger, brighter, closer, a different colour, etc;
- If the word is a person or a thing, picture that person or that thing and put the letters over it or under it like a caption;
- Picture the word in your favourite colour;
- If it is a long word, make the letters small enough so that you can see the whole word easily;
- Trace the letters in the air with your finger and picture in your mind the letters you are writing.
