- 1Before letters, children practice the strokes that letters are made of: lines, curves, slants and circles.
- 2Always start at the green dot. Going the right way now helps later with letters.
- 3Trace slowly first; when it gets easy, use a different color crayon and go over it again.
Words children read are printed in school print (Zaner-Bloser style), with the same simple a and g they learn to write. Print on US Letter or A4; the PDF has no ads and no website headers.
