I stumbled upon this wonderful tool, the Boogie Board, which has helped our students with dysgraphia in so many ways.\u00a0 To begin with, the \u201cScribbler\u201d version has four delightful, yellow writing utensils that, when used properly, help enforce a proper pencil grip.\u00a0 Then, the fun comes in!<\/p>\n
When writing on the Boogie Board, multi-colored magic ink appears. (This accesses the right side of the brain, which can be so helpful to students with dysgraphia). It\u2019s difficult to explain without seeing it in action, but the pen makes a rainbow mark, which has been fascinating to our students. We have had formerly reluctant writers pick up the Boogie Board and write paragraphs, design game boards, make lists, perform difficult math equations, etc.\u00a0 In general\u2026they are writing!\u00a0 The best part is that there is no persuasion needed.\u00a0 For some reason, the Boogie Board appeals to these kids, and so far the \u201cnewness\u201d of it hasn\u2019t worn off.<\/p>\n
Enter more magic.\u00a0 With the press of a button, the print disappears.\u00a0 We are taking photographs of the work our students do to record that they can indeed write, perform math equations, and do other academic work.\u00a0 Who cares if it\u2019s done with a pencil, as long as it gets done?<\/p>\n
The inventors of the Boogie Board are geniuses in my opinion.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t done much research on this fabulous tool, but I am hoping to find a bigger version so that we can get several math problems, longer paragraphs, or other written material down without pushing the magic button and having the rainbow print disappear.<\/p>\n
If you have a reluctant writer, I strongly recommend getting a Boogie Board.\u00a0 They cost about thirty dollars.\u00a0 I found ours at Staples, but I have also seen them available at Walmart and Amazon.\u00a0 I will be buying more!<\/p>\n
Happy rainbow writing,<\/p>\n
