This helps students learn to print their letters within a defined space.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Reproduce the correct form of each capital letter A through Z through repeated model-based practice.
Fit each capital letter within a defined space for consistent sizing.
Transfer letter formation from a modeled row to independent writing on the same page.

Teaching tips

Assign a few letters per session rather than the full alphabet at once, since each letter is a separate, complete page.
Have students complete the letters in their own name first, since the pages are not numbered in a way that requires alphabetical order.
Use the blank name line at the top of every page as incidental name-writing practice while students work on the featured letter.

Skills covered

Capital letter formation — students trace and then independently write each of the 26 capital letters, following a repeated model row at the top of each page.
Consistent letter sizing — the boxed model rows require fitting each letter within a defined space rather than writing freehand.
Name-writing practice — the blank name line at the top of every page gives students a repeated, incidental chance to write their own name.
