What kids do
“Trace the gray letters. Start at the top. Then write two on your own.”
Teacher tip
Group letters with the same start (c, a, d, g all begin like a c) when you model them.
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.
- Model the first answer on the board, thinking out loud as you write.
Watch for
Letters started from the bottom. Gently redirect to top-down strokes before habits set.
Talk about it
- Where does this letter start on the lines?
- Where else do writers use this skill?
