Handwriting Skills

If you go to firststrokeshandwriting.com and click on Downloads you will find several great handwriting worksheets. There is also a Handwriting Rules poster that teaches children how to hold their pencil. I like their worksheets because they provide "pathways" for writing letters. It helps them develop their fine motor skills when they have to stay in the "pathway".

Dolch's 300 sight words

• Ask him to think of a word that rhymes with a word that you give to him. Read poetry, or ask him to read poetry so that he can hear the rhyming words at the end of each line. Couplets would be great.
• Learn basic sight words with automaticity. Dolch's or Fry's lists are great.
