What kids do
“The days of the week start with a capital letter. Copy each one. Then finish the sentence.”
Teacher tip
Sing a days-of-the-week song first, then point out that every day name starts with a capital.
How to use it
- Model each letter on the board, saying the strokes out loud (start at the top, pull down).
- Have kids trace the letter in the air and on their palm before the pencil.
- Give a minute at the end to reread the work out loud to a partner.
Watch for
Letters started from the bottom. Gently redirect to top-down strokes before habits set.
Talk about it
- Which letter was the trickiest? Why?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
Take it further
Practice the same letters in a tray of sand, salt or shaving cream.
