Talking Points

• Handwriting is an important skill because it helps others understand what we write.
• When we write, we use our fingers, hands, and arms to form letters and words.
• Let's start by warming up our fingers and hands to make them ready for writing.
• When we trace a word, we follow the lines to practice the correct shape and size of the letters.
• Copying a word means writing it on our own, without tracing. This helps us remember how to write it.
• Each letter has an uppercase and lowercase form. We need to practice both.
• Writing words multiple times helps us remember how to spell them and make them look neat.
• Sentences are groups of words that make complete thoughts. Let's write a sentence about something we like!
• Remember to take breaks and relax your hand if it feels tired.
• Practice makes perfect! The more you write, the better your handwriting will become.
