| Overview:
Transcription skills play a critical role in supporting students’ overall writing development. When students struggle with handwriting or spelling, much of their mental energy is spent forming letters and recalling how to write words, leaving fewer cognitive resources available for organizing ideas, planning, and composing meaningful text. Strengthening transcription skills through explicit instruction helps students write more fluently and efficiently, allowing them to focus on higher-level thinking and communication. CLIFTER (Cursive Letter Identification and Formation for Transcription and Early Reading) is a free instructional tool designed to support cursive handwriting and spelling development. Through explicit instruction in cursive letter and word formation, CLIFTER helps students strengthen transcription skills that support reading and written expression. This PD falls under the LOU Re: Compensation for School Division Operated Voluntary Professional Development Outside of School Hours During the School Division Calendar year
