Printing Tracing Cards: Lowercase Alphabet

Description

Developing the muscle memory needed to write the alphabet correctly is hard! Why do so many children want to start their letters at the bottom? Because it gives them an anchor point. Now, with these unique cards, the anchor point is a green dot. Your kindergarten and first-grade students will start on the green dot and end on the red dot and with enough practice, correct letter formation will be internalized.

Teachers can't watch over every letter their students write and it's easy for them to develop bad habits. These printable cards are Montessori-inspired and self-correcting with the green and red dots so your students can be as independent as possible and you don't have to worry that they are starting from the bottom. 

You'll be able to prepare them quickly and easily and you'll get different versions 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. The cards also indicate the type of letter (tall, small, fall) so you can introduce them based on difficulty and they match all of my other printing and pre-writing resources so you can be consistent with your teaching.
