Talking Points

• "Let's start by tracing the big letter 'H'. Remember to start at the top and go down!"

• "Now, let's move on to the letter 'a'. Start at the top, go down, then up and around like a circle!"

• "Great job! Next is the letter 'y'. Start at the top, go down, then make a slant, go down again, and make a tail!"

• "Now, let's try the letter 'd'. Start at the top, go down, make a curve, then add a tail going up!"

• "Almost there! Let's do the letter 'e'. Start at the top, go down, make a curve, then add a line across!"

• "Last letter! 'n'. Start at the top, go down, make a slant, then another slant going down!"
