HOW YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT LEARNING
When tracing:

• Have your child trace lines by finger first.
• Provide a selection of writing tools, such as colored chalk or pencils, markers, and crayons, to keep the activities engaging.

When cutting:

• Be sure your child holds the scissors in his or her dominant hand.
• Guide your child in using his or her non-dominant hand to hold the paper and turn the paper when changing direction. It will be easier for your child to change direction of the paper not the direction of the scissors.
• When working on the activities starting on page 17, have your child complete the tracing page before beginning the cutting page that follows it.
• Have your child cut out the cutting activity page before completing the cutting task.
