For the youngest child their name, or a word or two on a favorite subject may be enough. For a slightly older preschooler, ask them to tell you a story or tell about a game they are playing. Type exactly what they say in the tracing font, and print it out using only the lower half of each page. Show your child their own words, then ask them to trace the letters and illustrate their story.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fontspace.com/kids-fonts/trace" title="http://www.fontspace.com/kids-fonts/trace">http://www.fontspace.com/kids-fonts/trace</a></p> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-lower-age"> <div class="field-label">Down to Grade/Age:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> PreK </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-integer field-field-upper-age"> <div class="field-label">Up thru Grade/Age:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Kindergarten </div> </div> </div> http://bteaching.com/lesson-plan-ideas/trace-your-own-story#comments handwriting literacy writing Tue, 22 Feb 2011 11:36:42 +0000 admin 39 at http://bteaching.com
