Let's Write Letters!

Path of movement for writing letters is VERY important. It seems like a tedious task but your learner to know how to write letters the correct way will make them more efficient in writing later on. Practicing path of movement with your child will build muscle memory of writing letters and make them more consistent.

I suggest using worksheets that show the path of movement of the letters they are making. I am including an example below. You can also find printable worksheets on the left side of the blog in my links section. These worksheets have tracing lines that your writer can follow to encourage consistency. Some of your children have already learned the wrong path of movement for letters and have those muscle memorized so we need to practice, practice, practice to relearn these skills correctly. It is important for your child to know the correct ways the letter is written for reading as well. For example, "b" and "d" are often confused in writing and in reading.
