Letter formation

  • Cutting practice Thumb on top, open wide, close slowly. Turn the paper with your other hand and keep the scissors pointing away from you.
  • Letter tracing Every letter starts at the top. The capital is tall; the small letter has its own size and its own home on the lines.
  • Number tracing Numbers start at the top too. Trace the dots, then write the number on your own.
  • Shape patterns A pattern repeats. Say the shapes out loud, find the part that repeats, and draw the shape that comes next.
  • Tracing lines and shapes Put your pencil on a dot. Follow its dotted line all the way to the end without lifting your pencil.

Words and joins

  • Color words Color words are the names of colors. Say each word as you trace it, then write it on your own.
  • Name tracing generator Your name is the first word you learn to write. Start each letter at the top, and keep every letter sitting on the line.
