This series of 15-30 minute programs for grades 2-5 motivates children by using research-based interactive strategies to make learning fun with the use of two winning characters: Bartleby, the wild and crazy pencil, and his glum chum, Gom, the eraser. Strategies include the repetition of catchy songs for important concepts, programs that are segmented, the use of self-critique after writing practice, and a review segment at the end of each program-all presented with a large dose of humor. Another well-proven strategy for learners is that they are encouraged to trace the shape that is being introduced with their finger in the air or on their desktops while students watch Bartleby form the letters
