About this title

Synopsis

The Trace and Write: Alphabets, Sight Words, and Sentences handwriting practice workbook, provides extensive focus on alphabet formation for the beginning writer. The inclusion of 93 beginning level sight words allows for additional handwriting practice. The beginning writer has an opportunity to trace each alphabet before any free-writing practice page is presented. This handwriting practice and penmanship workbook will help increase your student’s ability to: —Print uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet and recognize the difference between the two. —Write from left to right and top to bottom of page. —Recognize spacing between letters and eventually words. —Understand the concept of writing letters. —Write words and brief sentences that are legible. —Write his/her own first and last name and other important words. Some neurologists advocate writing to learn. One states, “The practice of writing can enhance the brain's intake, processing, retaining, and retrieving of information. Through writing, students can increase their comfort with and success in understanding complex material, unfamiliar concepts, and subject-specific vocabulary.” Since kindergarten and 1st grade students do not have to prepare for assessments, focus can instead be placed on their literacy development, sight words, and handwriting practice. Reading to children and talking to them directly can be huge. Parents can start conversations—helping to build verbal vocabulary, write a grocery list together—helping to practice handwriting skills, and select books together at the library—allowing students to enjoy the usefulness of the printed word. Another way to raise their awareness of language in their environment is to point to street signs, billboards, traffic signs, and menus in restaurants. Air tracing letters and creating letters with dry food objects can provide a fun way for students to practice alphabet and number formation. This handwriting practice workbook can be used daily or as a supplement to school handwriting assignments. Alphabet tracing activities help students to develop excellent penmanship skills. The Trace and Write: Alphabets, Sight Words, and Sentence handwriting practice workbook is an excellent penmanship skill builder.
