These Sky Grass Dirt Alphabet Formation Practice Sheets and Rhyme Cards are perfect to keep at hand when teaching letter writing and printing in both large and small groups! Using the Sky-Grass-Dirt format to explain where the letters go on the lines really helps many children understand where the letters should be placed, and what size they should be. The practice sheets are perfect for use with dry erase markers in small groups! Just sneak a peek at the rhyme printed on the back of the card, while showing the letter printed in large Sky-Grass-Dirt format with directional arrows on the front of the card. Then sing or chant the rhymes together to help the children learn how to write the letters. Sung or spoken, these rhymes are quite helpful for the children as they are learning to write the letters, and serve as a great tool to boost their memory and make the task a lot more fun at the same time! The rhymes, combined with the Sky-Grass-Dirt practice sheets are winning combination to make alphabet writing SO MUCH EASIER!!!
This resource supports the video, Alphabet Formation: Songs to Write the ABCs, available on DVD at HeidiSongs.com, or via internet video streaming at Uscreen. However, it can be used with or without the videos. It also goes along GREAT with our Letter of the Week Focus Wall!
