I have been doing a bit of reading about teaching lefties to write properly and decided to make this mat.  It shows him where to place his paper (the harsher angle which is recommended for left-handers).  The little arrow at the bottom is to point at his belly button (to keep him from crossing his midline while writing).  I included an alphabet strip, as well.  We school at the kitchen table, so he doesn't have a dedicated desk.  I thought this would be a good solution.  It's working well.  He can easily see what he's writing, as well as what he has already written.   \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mX8Pff7XsaU\/T7-y5a0h0ZI\/AAAAAAAAAu0\/23iTfvdWaWs\/s1600\/writing01.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"229\" width=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-mX8Pff7XsaU\/T7-y5a0h0ZI\/AAAAAAAAAu0\/23iTfvdWaWs\/s400\/writing01.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.accomplishate.com\/preschool\/images\/maths.jpg\" alt=\"Maths\" \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003ERobbie played with Base Ten blocks for the first time.
