Testimonials from Teachers Here's what a few experts say about THE FIVE FINGER PARAGRAPH©: "Johnnie Lewis has created some excellent instructional materials for teaching writing skills with The Five Finger Paragraph and The Five Finger Essay. When she presented a writing lesson to my class of middle school special education students, I was very impressed with the way the format of the lesson and the brightly colored materials held their attention. The overall information provided by this program is excellent for use with students who need instruction to be presented in a variety of ways. It would certainly be appropriate to use with general education students as well. The lesson plans and their accompanying materials really help students to be able to determine a useful plan for organizing their writing. I believe these materials would be an excellent supplement to an effective language arts program and would help strengthen the writing skills of almost any student." Dr. Kathy Nesbitt, Director, Flint Area Learning Center, Cordele, GA "This letter comes to express our appreciation to you for the concepts of 'The Five Finger Paragraph' and the 'Five Finger Essay.' As teachers of a culturally diverse community, we are constantly looking for methods and materials that will assist us. Your use of color and order has helped our students structure their writing and quickly identify areas that have been neglected. The use of the hand and the use of color quickly bridge language barriers and allow all students to experience success in their writing. Thank you again for sharing with us. Our students are more confident and more successful in their writing because of you." Joy Young, Asst. Principal, Lilburn Elementary School, Lilburn, GA "'The Writing Police' series is the best brain-based method I have ever used to teach grammar and writing skills. Mrs. Lewis uses pictures, stories, and child centered characters to totally engage children in the love of learning. It is absolutely wonderful!" Jan Bernard, Elementary Teacher, Kennesaw, GA "It is exciting to find a concise and clear explanation of basic writing principles in a childlike format. Children understand and remember how to write a good paragraph by being totally enthralled by entertaining and imaginative characters like the Writing Police." Adrienne McAuley, Elementary Teacher, Marietta, GA
