"Thank you for the cd  rom. It installed like a dream! We will be recommending it to SENCOs in Plymouth schools. Do you have any leaflets which we can give to SENCOs? f you have please could we have a few. "
Maggie Parke - Plymouth Advisory Learning Support


Box letter shapes, as illustrated above and used in the Crossbow BOX DICTATIONS and SIGHTWORD SPELLING resources, help people with weak auditory - visual connections (common in dyslexia) to map  phonemes onto graphemes.

                                                                                SEE EXAMPLES BELOW

EXAMPLES: You may want to prompt a specific word, as in a cloze passage:
Type the sentence: "The leaves on the tree are green"
Highlight "tree" and change font to "Boxes Longlegs"
(Example A opposite)

You may want to encourage cursive writing in the boxes  by using "boxes joined up" (b) 

You may want to show all or some of the letters in the boxes (c)

You may want to use the script font without the boxes (D) 

You may want to prompt certain letters to practise specific spellings by using "boxes colored" (E)

Or you may want any combination of these (F)

THE BOXES FONT IS 
A SUITE OF FIVE FULLY-FEATURED TRU-TYPE FONTS

EACH EXAMPLE BELOW SAYS "This is the boxes font"

Spelling for dyslexics with Boses letter shapes

In each case, it is simply a matter of highlighting the word and changing the font. Once installed on your hard drive, BOXES is there whenever you want it.
