Fonts
have saved my gifted son from turning in sloppy projects! There is such pride in turning in an
assignment that has been typed. Feeling
like a cool grown-up comes into play.
When an assignment comes
up, we talk about what font might represent the topic. He will want to get started because that is a
fun step and doesn’t seem so daunting.
“How do you want to grab audience attention?” can refer to both the
introduction to the essay, as well as the font.
Fonts
have helped my son realize that words can paint pictures. By looking for a scary font, my child has to
think about what scared looks like. Then
when he goes to write, his mind is ready to write using descriptive words.
An intellectual character from
the TV series, The Middle, has a true
passion for fonts. It might be fun to
show your child the videos below so he/she could get on the bandwagon.
