Book excerpt: Build a solid foundation of forming letters with Pre-Handwriting Practice for grades PK–1. This 64-page book features more than 100 half-page activities that teach young students line strokes, slanted lines, circles, and curves before introducing the alphabet. After students have learned a particular stroke, the letters that use that stroke are taught. The book includes tactile, auditory, and visual activities to reinforce directionality and proper pencil control. The book supports NCTE and NAEYC standards.
