2nd Grade English Language Arts Montessori

Help your students develop their fine motor skills and learn correct letter formation with these pre-writing and printing activities. Children will have fun using these booklets (so much more engaging than regular penmanship worksheets!) to first practice all of the strokes used in uppercase and lowercase letters and then they'll graduate to writing the actual alphabet.

Do you have pre-school students who aren't quite ready to print the alphabet, but they are ready for some printing practice with pre-writing strokes? Or maybe your kindergarten and first grade students are still writing their letters from the bottom up and they need a self-correcting handwriting activity so you don't have to watch their every move?

All you have to do is teach them to start the letter on the green dot and finish on the red dot.

Help your students learn to print the uppercase and lowercase alphabet with these letter formation practice sheets. Teachers love the the easy-to-prep booklet format and kids find them much more engaging than worksheets.

It's impossible for teachers to watch over every letter their students are writing and it's easy for them to develop bad habits. They can be independent with this unique style of printing practice because they simply need to start the letter on the green dot and finish on the red dot.

Do your kindergarten and first-grade students write their letters from the bottom up? Help your students (left-handed kids included!) learn correct letter formation with these uppercase and lowercase letter tracing cards and booklets. These cards isolate the skill of letter formation so children develop the muscle memory needed to write the alphabet correctly.

It's impossible for teachers to watch over every letter their students are writing and it's easy for them to develop bad habits. These printable cards and booklets are Montessori-inspired and self-correcting so your students can be as independent as possible and you don't have to worry that they are starting from the bottom. All you have to do is teach them to start the letter on the green dot and finish on the red dot.

NOTE: You can see exactly what you will get (i.e. the entire resource) by clicking on the preview buttons.

Here are five reasons this resource will make things easier for you in your classroom:

1. The cards and booklets are easy to prepare. No complicated folding or rearranging. Cutting lines are included on the cards.
2. Children can work independently with the cards and booklets. The green and red dots help them start end end correctly.
3. Different versions of the cards are included to suit your needs: no arrows, arrows for right-handed kids, arrows for left-handed kids, and a version with thicker lines, which you can use to make your own Montessori Sandpaper Letters.
4. One printed copy of the booklet teaches all 26 letters of the alphabet.
5. The cards match all of my other Printing and Pre-Writing resources so you can be consistent in your teaching.
