Instructional Ideas

  • Put these together at the beginning of the school year so that kids know whose desk is whose and can use the alphabet on their cards for reference from the very first day

Classroom Considerations

  • The larger versions are spread across two pages; as the resource suggests, you can simply lay one over the other and laminate the two pages to keep them together

Pros

  • Includes three different handwriting styles: manuscript, cursive, and D'Nealian
  • Comes with two version of each type of handwriting, one small and one large

Cons

  • None
