Each week I spend a few minutes working with the kids on making the letter of the week. Until today, I had reviewed any of the other letters. I am really glad I did. I saw lots of improvement in pencil grip, and most of the kids didn't ask how to make the letters, they just made them (sometimes upside down, but they were still there). The improvement just goes to show that sitting at a desk practicing on worksheets isn't the only way to learn how to make letters. The kids have been making letters with magnets, playdough, Lego block and even cars. When it came time to write them, they knew what they were doing because they learned through their play.
