Pre-writing & Printing Tracing Cards: Uppercase & Lowercase Strokes & Alphabet

By Jessica Renee Montessori - JRMontessori

FIRST: Help your pre-k and kindergarten students learn correct letter formation without having to form complete letters. The pre-writing tracing cards isolate the individual strokes involved in forming the uppercase and lowercase letters.

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

These printable cards are Montessori-inspired and self-correcting so your students can be as independent as possible. 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 four reasons this resource will make things easier for you in your classroom:

The cards are easy to prepare. Only three (pre-writing) or two (printing) cuts on each page, and cutting lines are included.
Children can work independently with the cards. The green and red dots help them start and end correctly.
Cards indicate which letters are represented by the different strokes.
The cards match all of my other Printing and Pre-Writing resources so you can be consistent in your teaching.

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?
