Trace with Me: Pre-Handwriting Practice
Before your child can write letters, his pencil needs to learn the moves. Trace With Me: Pre-Handwriting Practice builds the fine-motor control and basic strokes that come before handwriting, beginning with lines, curves, and circles and gradually progressing to uppercase and lowercase letters.
Instead of jumping straight into the alphabet, your child starts by tracing around objects, following lines, and completing pictures. These early activities give him practice controlling his pencil while working with the same strokes he'll eventually combine to form letters.
Once those movements become familiar, the workbook puts them to work. Your child begins tracing and writing uppercase and lowercase letters using the lines, curves, and circles he has already practiced. It's a logical progression that makes letter formation feel like the next step rather than an entirely new skill.
The full-color pages keep practice inviting, while clear, step-by-step directions tell you exactly what your child should do. And with generous 1.25" line spacing, little hands have plenty of room to practice without being asked for tiny, precise handwriting before they're ready.
Pages are perforated, too, so you can tear out one activity at a time if an entire workbook feels like a lot to tackle. Hand your child today's page, let him focus on that job, and tuck the rest away for another day.
An included answer key makes it easy to check activities without any special handwriting training on your part.
Trace With Me: Pre-Handwriting Practice keeps the goal appropriately simple: first, control the pencil; then, master the strokes; and finally, put those strokes together to form letters. Because before beautiful handwriting comes a whole lot of lines, curves, and circles.
