Teaching Correct Letter Formation

Posted on December 30, 2016 by Shelley

How do you teach correct letter formation? I like to begin with Handwriting Without Tears’ wood pieces (for capitals) and the chalkboard. But, what do you do to reinforce this initial instruction? I’ve found these Alphabet Letter Formation and Recognition Cards to be so helpful that I just had to share them with you!

The correct letter formation that is demonstrated on each card is similar to that taught by Handwriting Without Tears. Your students will always begin at the happy face and follow the arrows and dotted lines, pause at the larger dots and stop at the stop sign.

We use the bottom portion of each card for:

handwriting practice
letter recognition (we use these alphabet manipulatives)
lowercase/capital letter matching (with handwriting or manipulatives) and
beginning sound identification (using miniatures)

Included in this set are twelve “I CAN” task cards that visually demonstrate the target activities–helping your students to work independently:

I like using pencil boxes to hold these activities. They are perfectly sized for organized, individual and interactive seat-work. Simply put the task card and letter formation cards in the pencil box, plus any manipulatives your students will need to complete the task.

You can grab this set TODAY and TOMORROW for 50% off! Check it out here.

Flash Freebie Alert!! {Winter Pencil Box Fun}

Posted on December 10, 2016 by Shelley

Fall isn’t over yet, and neither are my flash freebies! Grab this one today.

I love using pencil boxes for our center activities. They are perfectly sized for independent seatwork, and they can hold all the manipulatives your students need (counting mats, counters, dice, recording sheets, and dry erase markers) to complete each task. They are also great for storing all of the parts and pieces that make center activities FUN!

So, grab a pencil box and let’s get started!

WINTER PENCIL BOX FUN is full of number sense activities for your Preschool, Pre-K and Kindergarteners. Each task has an “I Can” Instruction Card. You can use the recording sheets, or just the manipulatives. Here are some of the activities included:
