I've been working with the 5th grade students to develop their shoe tying skills. Many students wear shoes with velcro straps, which works fine in elementary school. Unfortunately, as kids grow out of child sizes and into adult sizes it can be much more difficult to find shoes with velcro fasteners. We tried two different methods - the traditional method and the double loop method (what we call rabbit ears). So far, the double loop method has proven to be easier for the students.
I'm going to post visuals here that I adapted from the website
Ian's Shoelace Site.
Feel free to use these at home to provide frequent practice opportunities at home. As you can imagine, we have limited time to spend on this at school so the more often they practice at home the more proficient they will become.
