-
Students will often learn letters that are important to them first, such as letters in their name.
-
The ability to write letters is a skill highly correlated with literacy learning.
-
Writing a letter from memory, not copying, requires retrieval of representation and coordination of fine motor movements to produce the letter.
-
Students need opportunities to write daily.
-
Manipulatives, craft sticks, paper, magnetic, or wooden letter forms, modeling compound, songs, and rhymes can be used to teach letter formation.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
