Classroom Application
Students practice writing their letters on a variety of surfaces (e.g., whiteboards, sand, shaving cream).
Students use lined handwriting paper to guide the size of their writing. The teacher explicitly describes where letters “live” on lined paper. The teacher refers to letters as tall, short, and letters with tails to help students with letter sizing. Students use lines on the page to guide the size of their writing.
