Description
Literacy LIFTER (Letter Identification and Formation for Transcription and Early Reading) is a free tool designed to empower educators and caregivers in supporting students’ handwriting and early reading skills. It provides users with evidence-based materials to teach handwriting and letter knowledge (i.e., letter names and sounds) to pre-kindergarten and elementary-aged students. This resource includes materials for flexible and efficient instruction, such as video models of letter formation and letter pronunciation as well as downloadable PDFs of student worksheets.
Curriculum Connection
B2. Language Foundations for Reading and Writing
D2. Creating Texts
This is a wonderful resource that supports educators in explicitly teaching letter formation and printing, key elements in strands B and D.

I would like to insert the letter formation video right onto my google slide. I teach using google slideshows and it would be nice to have the video right there, to press play, when I get to that slide. I was only able to insert a link to the video, and that’s not what I want.
This resource has some great qualities. I like the different letter practice sheets and being able to customize them. One thing I am disappointed about is that I can’t put the letter formation video right into my google slide show, so that I can just click play. I can create a link but I don’t want to have to do that step while I’m teaching. UFLI provides letter formation video’s that I can put right on my google slide so that it is right there when I get to that slide, and the students can see it. I will use those instead. Unless you can tell me a way to put the video right on my slide. When I tried copying the address from the top of the screen, and clicked ‘instert video’ in google slides, it inserted a different video of the two men talking. If you can help me, please let me know.
Hi Carolin,
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! ONlit is not the developer of this resource – for any specific questions, we’d recommend getting in touch with the Iowa Reading Research Center.
Later this summer we will be releasing our own embedded picture mnemonics resource that will also have letter formation demonstrations 😊
The explanation on how to use the resource was very detailed.
