Pre-K Writing Montessori

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. 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 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 are easy to prepare. Only two cuts on each page and cutting lines are included.
2. Children can work independently with the cards. The green and red dots help them start and end correctly.
3. Different versions 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. Cards indicate the type of letter (tall, small, fall) so you can introduce them based on difficulty.
5. The cards match all of my other Printing and Pre-Writing resources so you can be consistent in your teaching.

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children have fun using these tracing cards and booklets (so much more fun than worksheets!) to practice all of the strokes used in uppercase and lowercase letters, without actually writing the letters.

Practice with these prewriting cards will make it easy for your students to later transition to the Alphabet Tracing Cards.

These printable activities 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 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.

What's Included In This Bundle:

- Alphabet Play-doh Mats (Uppercase & lowercase Letters Aa-Zz)

- Number Play-doh Mats With Ten Frames

- Trace It, Color It, Write It Alphabet Book - Writing Center

- Alphabet Letter & Number Tracing Cards - Writing Center

- Matching Game ( Shapes - Letters - Numbers)

- Clothes Pin Clip Task Cards | Letter & Number Matching

More Information On Each Item:

The Alphabet Play-doh Mats have both Uppercase and lowercase Letters. This activity is great for not only hands on learning through play but also to help your students practice forming each letter of the alphabet. Each play-doh mat also has a picture of an item that starts with that letter.

The Number Play-doh mats also have ten frames on them. This helps your students practice counting and one-to-one correspondence.

The Alphabet book is great for your literacy center and writing practice. Each page has both the Uppercase and lowercase letter on it. The students color, trace, and then practice writing each Uppercase and lowercase letter of the alphabet.

The Matching Game has Uppercase and lowercase letter matching practice as well as number and shape cards. The number cards have a matching card with the corresponding number of apple seeds on each one. This helps students practice counting and one-to-one correspondence.

The letter tracing cards are also another great way for your students to practice writing each Uppercase and lowercase letter as well as numbers 1-10.

The Clothes Pin Clip task cards are a great fall-themed learning activity. There are both pumpkin-themed letter cards as well as number cards.

Each letter task card has an Uppercase letter on the pumpkin as well as #3 different lowercase letters on the right side of the card to choose from. Your students will then clip a clothespin on the correct lowercase letter that matches the letter on the pumpkin. This is a great fine motor activity as well as a great way to practice matching Uppercase and lowercase letters together. Each number task card has a different amount of pumpkins from 1-10 on it. The students will count how many pumpkins are on each card and then attach a clothespin to the matching number on the right.

I hope you and your students love these products as much as I loved creating them!

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.
