Practicing How to Write Letters and Numbers

I know working on writing letters and numbers over and over can get very boring, but hopefully these writing sheets will help your students not only learn how to write correctly, but stay engaged.

I teach how to correctly form letters and numbers from the very beginning of the year. When I introduce a letter for the first time, I show students how letters have different heights and we discuss why that is important. I whipped up these Alphabet Writing Sheets I could throw in centers for students to work on writing. I keep these worksheets in sheet protectors and in a binder to make it easy to keep everything together. Students can take the sheet protectors out if more than one kids wants to work on this at their center. 

Of course the race cars are their favorite!

    

One more way we practice writing letters in my classroom is to use Dr. Jean’s song “Letter Tales”.  Dr. Jean has fantastic songs for learning and they are fun! You can find the “Letter Tales” song on her Just For Fun CD here (scroll almost to the bottom). This song is great because it sings about the letter and the sound, but sings it slow enough so students have time to write down the letters before it’s time for the next letter.
