Upper Case Printing

Working once a week with our youngest children, we have studied and learned how to form the capital letters A through E. While this sounds like a simple task, there are many things to consider. First of all where to start the letter? This is hard for some youngsters who are used to forming their letters from the bottom. Other things to consider is that  our letters have to be written from left to right, and each child has to consider spacing between the letters. Then they have to consider the size of the letter and work hard to make it fit between the lines. Some children struggle with how to hold their pencil. In the coming months we will work our way through the alphabet and then return to learn about the lower case letter formations.
