The (Parroting Action Learning System) PALS Handwriting Program is an award-winning set of workbooks created by a pediatric occupational therapist.
The parrot and monkey mascots give verbal instructions, which are read aloud to and repeated by a child. All alphabet letters can be formed using simple curved and/or straight lines matched with simple action words to encourage children and their caregivers to use the same language. The imitation and repetition of these phrases help a child understand how to form and align letters using a unique, multisensory method that is playful, simple, and effective.
