For the parent or teacher
What it is
Blank pages for everyday writing, sized for kindergarten hands. Primary paper has a top line, a dashed middle line and a bottom line, with the space for small letters lightly shaded, so kids can see where each letter goes. Use these pages for journals, stories, labels, lists and anything else your child wants to write.
What comes next
Use these pages alongside any writing topic, or for writing at home.
How to teach it
- Point out the three lines before writing. Tall letters touch the top line, small letters fit under the dashed line.
- Let your child draw first. A picture gives them something to write about.
- For the name page, write your child's name in the box in neat print for them to copy.
- Keep writing time short and celebrate every try.
Common mistakes
- Letters floating above the bottom line. Show that every letter sits on it.
- Words squished together. Put a finger down after each word to leave a space.
- Pressing too hard. A light, steady line is easier to write and to erase.
