Sometimes, when teaching kids how to make letters, it is helpful to add creative and different methods to the good old fashioned, paper and pencil letter making practice. Here are some creative ways to work on letter formation using the senses:
Foam Strip Letter Formation
Letter Formation Resistive Surface
Sensory Letter Formation

Now, here is an even easier way to get the equilibrium symbol. With the cursor at the insertion point where you want the symbol to appear, type 21cc, then press ALT and X simultaneously. If you have the Lucida Sans Unicode font available, this will type the equilibrium symbol without going to the insert symbol menu. This method will work with any of the symbols above, substituting the appropriate code before typing ALT+X.
Introducing our engaging Alphabet Formation Word Mat, a valuable resource designed to support early literacy development and promote proper letter formation. This comprehensive word mat features the entire alphabet, presented in a lined font that models correct letter formation Each letter is beautifully displayed against a captivating Arabic Buildings background, adding a touch of cultural appreciation to your learning environment.
The Alphabet Formation Word Mat serves as a valuable tool for young learners as they embark on their journey to master letter recognition and handwriting skills. Each letter is displayed with clear guidelines, providing a visual reference for students to practice forming letters correctly.
Measuring a convenient size, this word mat is perfect for use on desks, tables, or as part of literacy centers. Its durable construction ensures it can withstand regular use, allowing students to refer to it as they practice letter formation.
Is your child having difficulty forming their letters or numbers correctly? Or have they mastered the pre-writing shapes and now starting to learn those letters? Well this blog is just for YOU!!! This blog will discuss a few of the abundance of iPad apps that can be extremely useful, exciting and interactive for children learning correct letter and number formation.
The sequence of formation is taught in three steps: 1. Touch the starting points 2. Trace leaving a row of dirt or railroad track then when it is formed correctly flowers pop out of the dirt and a train travels over the tracks 3. Write the letter independently if you are unsuccessful after a few times it provides arrows to follow
Description: Pre-writing and letter formation app with graded levels of visual motor and perceptual activities for children ages 2-7 years to develop their pre-writing skills leading up to letter formation.
These apps are great for learning correct letter and number formation along with other skills however it is important that these skills are transferred to paper. It is recommended that paper and pencil tasks that match are completed at the same time these IPad Apps are used. For example, have the child write the letter or words immediately after completing them on the IPad. Another alternative is purchasing an APP CRAYON. Using the app crayon will assist in development of the tripod grasp.
I understand that most of these IPad apps have costs involved, however I have seen great success in children using these apps to develop correct letter and number formation. Not only have I seen improvement but the kids love it and they are always excited to learn their letters through these highly interactive, visually stimulating and FUN apps!!!
Hi, I am trying to install the starting dots font and am getting an error code that says its an inappropriate file type or format. The one without dots worked great, just not this one.
I love this resource, I hope you can help me get it to work!
I have now made outlines of the letters but would love any advice you might be able to offer with regards to creating a font! Last time I made letters that looked great, tried to make a font, and then all the letters were on top of each other with no spacing whatsoever lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Research suggests that the process of forming letters while handwriting activates neural pathways that are associated with strong reading skills. In fact, handwriting plays a crucial role in the formation of these brain networks which underlie the development of strong reading skills. These brain connections are only made when children are engaged in handwriting activities, not when tracing or typing letters (James & Berninger, 2019).
Learning handwriting can be compared to learning times tables. Just as we know that in mathematics, a good automatic knowledge of the times tables can free up the brain for higher-order thinking, the same can be said for handwriting. If it is automatic, children can concentrate on the content of what they are writing instead of focusing on correct letter formation etc. This means they are better able to generate ideas and retain information.
We need children to have a good grasp of handwriting so that they can demonstrate an understanding of concepts taught. Ultimately, after emerging from an effective program to teach handwriting, students should be concentrating on idea formation not letter formation!
Letter formation activities should be a part of daily phonics instruction. As children hear the sound they develop strong auditory recognition; as they say the sound they develop strong pronunciation skills; as they see the sound/letter, they develop strong visual recognition skills; and as they write the sound/letter they develop strong letter formation skills. This holistic approach ensures children develop strong representations of the letters/sounds for both reading and spelling skill development.
Adopting a cursive font for spelling and writing and a foundation font (found in the majority of readers) for reading, makes the process more complicated. This is especially true for children who have difficulty with visual perception, and forming a memory of the letter shapes.
Cursive letters are more difficult for students to recognise, and letter reversals are not reduced by using cursive fonts (Richmond, 2010). There is no evidence to support the theory that students transition to joined writing more easily when using a cursive font.
Significant numbers of young children will experience difficulty with the ticks at the end of letters being formed. Some of these students will produce large or disproportionate ticks (i.e. poor control of the ticks). Other students may form a foundation font letter and then after the removal of the pencil a tick is then added (i.e. rather than a continuous and controlled single motion, 2 patterns are produced with a pencil lift between each.)
Ideally, the sequence in which letter formation is introduced should follow that of the Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) Program used. This holistic approach ensures children develop strong representations of the letters/sounds for both reading and spelling skill development.
In an SSP Program, reversible letters commonly confused are grouped and taught separately. This is also important for handwriting development as a child will make fewer errors when one letter formation has been well learned before a similar reversible letter is introduced (e.g. b/d).
If you are a primary teacher, you probably use letter outlines. They are a fantastic resource for students to decorate, or for you to decorate with instructions in the form of arrows, numbers, or a dotted trail. You can laminate them and let students trace over them with their fingers or use them as a play-dough mat. Or you can not laminate them and let students go to town with glue and glitter. They also save you a lot of ink compared with silhouette letters. Anyway, outline letters have a lot of uses in the classroom.
First things first. Let's create a normal letter (let's call it a silhouette letter). We need to change the color of the letter to something that is not black and not white, otherwise we won't be able to see what we are doing. This is just temporary; at the end of the process we turn the letter white and we will be left with a black outline. But for now, the letter needs to be a color. Let's also enlarge the letter to the size at which we will be using it, so we can get a better idea what kind of outline thickness will work best.
There are still lots of reasons to buy PDFs with ready-made outline letters. First, the font used to create the outline letters might not be available, or might be more expensive than the PDF. Second, the PDF author may have added other elements that are worth buying, such as:
