Thanks for reminding me! I just printed a bunch :) <br /><br />Lindsay- Yes, I like HWT. I like the wood pieces and the way it builds skills (starting with L, then F etc.). What I don't like as much is that there is only one page practice per letter. My plan is to introduce the letter with HWT and then use other resources, such as RRSP and Confessions of a Homeschooler, Sandpaper letters and fun activities (tracing in shaving cream or pudding) to reinforce the letter (and review letters) over the course of the week. So, I guess HWT isn't critical and you could just do these other resources as well :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935426788639618562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214297535500352269.post-68844251839462112502011-09-10T14:27:00.929-07:002011-09-10T14:27:00.929-07:00What a fun week!

I need to do some more planning in this area because writing is definitely still Sammy's weakest thing but like you said no need to push them they are so young and just working on fine motor skills is important :-) Do you like handwriting without tears?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214297535500352269.post-83883106018998981022011-09-10T04:32:14.467-07:002011-09-10T04:32:14.467-07:00Looks like a lot of really fun activities.

She has handwriting worksheets for numbers 1-20 and letters. I laminated them and let my little one trace the sheets with a dry erase marker. It's been a very low-stress way to introduce her to writing.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840069035562548493noreply@blogger.com
