Better Lesson: Read and Write From Top to Bottom and Left to Right

Curated by ACT

Teach students to remind themselves (and train their eyes and brains) to go from top to bottom, left to right and page by page! This lesson includes a catchy song to the tune of Mary had a Little Lamb to help students remember this crucial reading skill.
