Teachers...Is there a rhyme or chant that goes with learning to form letters.?

Question

I am teaching my 3 year old how to write letters. I think that there is a chant or something fun that goes along with forming them so that they can remember how each one is formed...Where can I find it??

Answer 2

Just decribe the way you write the letter.

Ex. for "H" say "big line down, big line down, little line across"

for "S" say "big curve, big curve"

Demonstrate writing the letters a few time while decribing them out loud. Then give your child a chance to practice using the same language to decribe as you did. If they have problems you can lightly take their hand in yours and guide them along. Don't try to do too many letters at once. And maybe start with the letters of their name.

Hope this helps!
