What kids do

“Every month starts with a capital letter. Copy the months in order in your neatest writing.”

Teacher tip

Have kids star their birthday month and the current month as they copy.

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.
  • Keep a word wall or a word bank in reach so spelling does not stop the ideas.

Watch for

Letters started from the bottom. Gently redirect to top-down strokes before habits set.

Talk about it

  • Which of your letters is your best one? Circle it.
  • What did you change when you reread your work?

Take it further

Practice the same letters in a tray of sand, salt or shaving cream.
