An educational method for teaching written composition is demonstrated within a series of hand-held, rectangular manipulatives 10 encoded with raised, colored indicia B1, B2. Representing a foundation from which all types of writing may be explored, the manipulatives 10 have been so designed that continuity of theme and flow of composition is ensured. Each rectangular manipulative 10 symbolizes a paragraph in written composition. Colored bands 10A framing the manipulatives identify paragraph themes and subsequent order within a composition. The raised, color-coded indicia B1, B2 represent key sentences within a paragraph and is so ordered as to clearly outline proper sentence sequencing. The manipulatives 10 used individually or interactively, provide a focus for critical elements of successful writing through enjoyable visual and tactile stimulation.
