PRINTING TIPS
As a best practice, I recommend printing in color. I know it can get expensive always printing in color if you are using a laser printer. That is why I switched over to an Epson Ecotank! It was a bit of an investment up front, but it has been worth it! I have printed over 12,000 pages (90% of that in color…mostly homeschool curriculum if you are wondering why I’m printing so much) over the past two years and I have only refilled the ink 2x! For the price of the refillable ink and how long it lasts, it is most definitely the most affordable option if you are looking to print a lot of colorful pages in the near future.
LETTER TRACING FAQ’S
WHAT DOES TRACING LETTERS DO FOR CHILDREN?
Tracing helps children refine their fine motor skills and pre-writing skills. Tracing lays the foundation for proper letter formation, word building and even drawing.
HOW DO YOU MAKE LETTER TRACING FUN?
Use creativity with this one! Start by only tracing for small amounts of time and making sure your little one doesn’t tire easily. It’s better to try again another day than to push your child beyond their limit.
1) Use colorful dry erase marker on laminated paper
2) Have the child use small objects (like cheerios) to place on top of the letter instead of physically writing it
3) Place small items like pom-poms on a letter and have the child use plastic tweezers to pick them up and place them in a bowl. This also exercises your child’s fine-motor skills.
HOW DO YOU TEACH A PRESCHOOLER TO TRACE?
Again, start with small amounts of tracing at a time. Our Free printable My First Letter B Tracing worksheet is perfect for this.
DOES TRACING IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS?
Yes. Tracing a letter or image can help your child focus on the physical demands of writing or drawing without the worry of getting it right. It builds fine motor skills and muscle memory.
WHY IS TRACING THE ALPHABET IMPORTANT?
Tracing is a fine motor activity that strengthens handwriting by helping children recognize the varying shapes and sizes of each letter.
WHAT AGE SHOULD I BEING TRACING ACTIVITIES WITH MY CHILD?
Tracing activities should not be forced – meaning being made to continue after they’ve shown signs of being done. That being said, you can start as early as your child shows the desire to learn.
