Write Your Name in the Box.

This is a writing activity.  There are two ways of doing this activity.

(1) Have your child write his/her name in the box with a dry-erase marker directly on the plastic sheet protector. Each letter goes in each box.  You have to use a fine-tip marker for writing.  You can erase and write multiple times without killing trees.







(2) Make multiple copies of the paper and write on the paper with a pencil.
Surely you can try both or either way.  Here we're working on the writing alignment, letter size, and spacing.

I personally prefer my students to write in pencils because it gives more resistance on the paper while writing.  It means more bio-feedback to their little hands.  Anything more on kinetic sense and sensory feedback will help them with memory and simply better learning.  You can definitely use color pencils for fun.  Using colors in the activity will enhance their learning as well.

Try to stay with your child while he/she is working on this.  Please do not walk away while they are doing this.  Children tend to copy from one above.  It means if they make a mistake on one time, it is highly possible to make the same mistake on the following ones.  They need another set of eyes and praise on their work on-the-go.

How do you make the boxes for other letters??  This is actually a font.  Who could have a clue that boxes for tall letters, small letters, descending letters can be a font style??  Whoever thought of this is a genius.

A wonderful teacher, Ms. Ruiz who I work with this school year told me about this font.  Go on Teachers Pay Teachers website (https://www.teacherspayteachers.com) and search "Hello Fonts".  Download it.  It's FREE!
