Letter Tracing

A letter to trace and then write alone, on primary handwriting rules.

One letter per page: a solid model, a few dotted copies to trace over and then empty rule to write it without help, which is the part that does the teaching. A start dot and an arrow show where the pencil goes first and which way it travels, so a child does not learn to build the letter from the wrong end. Set it to a single letter, a range like a-f, a phonics group like satpin, or the whole alphabet, which prints one letter per page in book order. Any letter of the book's language works, ç, ñ, accented vowels and digraphs such as ch or lh included, and the picture beside it is named in that language. Print uses the Andika typeface, with the single-storey a and g children are taught to write; cursive uses the school handwriting model of the book's language.
