Writing


Writing 

For kindergarten children the first thing we need to teach is how to hold a pencil correctly, then we move on to learning to write the alphabet, and then short words.

Later we start to teach sentences and punctuation and grammar becomes more important.

Tips:
  • Teach them to write their own name first.
  • Apart from their name, I recommend teaching writing with or after basic phonics. 
  • Start by tracing letters.
  • Teach them to put a finger width between words.
  • Teach them to start a sentence with a capital and finish it with a period.
