Printing

Many students have difficulty producing legible work, a critical component of writing. Consider using the computer to lessen students' frustration and promote their capabilities.

Computers frequently solve writing legibility problems as students can "write" in a variety of ways: by typing letters, using whole-word programs, or even voice dictation. Remember to set (or show the student how to set) the size, style and color of the font.

Most word processing programs will print the screen exactly as you see it. Of course, you will need a color printer to print in color! Consider using a variety of colored and patterned papers for "special" stories and reports.

Font Programs

All students want to produce written work like everyone else. With the addition of a special school font program, printouts can incorporate lined paper and cursive script.
