Print it on A4 or Letter paper and trace it with a crayon: first the big shape, then the dotted lines.
For grown-ups
- One page a day is plenty: a little, with a smile.
- The black dot with a number shows where to start; the arrow shows which way the hand should move.
- First trace the big letter with a finger, then with a crayon. Then trace the dotted letters on the lines.
- The first letter of each line is the model to copy.
- Coloring the picture helps remember the sound: A for Apple!
- Use crayons or chunky pencils: markers may bleed through: slip a sheet under the page.
