Description

This slidedeck is created for teachers to use with their students to focus on letter names, sounds and printing formation. Using ONLit’s Embedded picture Mnemonics videos and Printing Like a Pro printing sheets, this slide deck explicitly teaches each letter name, sound and printing formation (in order of ease of formation). Using this slidedeck with the printing practice sheets utilizes a “I do, we do, you do” approach. Use with a projector on a whiteboard (or something similar), so modelling can happen in front of the students.

Printing practice sheets can be found from Printing like a pro: https://www.cdrinfosource.ca/
