Put your finger on the starting dot and trace the shape in the air first.
Trace the dotted lines slowly with a pencil — stay on the line.
Say the number, letter or word while you trace it.
Try writing it on your own in the empty space.
Tip for parents and teachers: Hold the pencil with the thumb and two fingers (a “tripod grip”). Young children tire quickly: stop after a few rows and come back later. Let the child explain the sorting rule in their own words — that is where the learning happens. Use child-safe scissors.
