Notas del editor

  1. When learning the write the alphabet, I use a program called Handwriting without Tears. They use four fundamental shapes to create all uppercase letters. Long and short lines as well as big and little curves. When we look at each letter we ask, “How do curves and lines go together to create this letter?”
  2. While there are no specific standards to writing the alphabet, it is obviously a very important skill. However, as we learn to write the letters, we are also learning to recognize and name the lettersas well as the sounds that each letter makes.
  3. This lesson was created for pre-k and kindergarten students. It is roughly a 10-20 minute literacy activity.
  4. This lesson could be used multiple times for various alphabet letters. The outcome goal for students is to be able to visualize the letter, how it’s made, and determine if they wrote it correctly.
  5. The Handwriting without Tears program has an official app that follows their program. While it would coincide with the same practices, it is not necessary for this activity. Other drawing programs that can be found for free would work equally well. Apps such as doodle buddy, neon draw, drawing neon, or glow draw depending on your tablet operating system.
  6. There are 3 main activities within the lesson plan. The first is practicing the 4 shapes, then the second is applying those shapes to guided practice, and the third activity is independent work on a blank canvas while writing the letter entirely by themselves.
  7. Informal formative assessments throughout the lesson and activities can help the teacher to identify trouble areas for particular students. Summative assessment at the end of the lesson is performed when the students save their work to the tablet to be added to their digital portfolio.
  8. This activity is completed entirely in class and is only limited by the number of available. However, within the small group settings, students can also practice their letter writing in rice/sand bins or using sensory bags filled with wet paint or gel/aloe until a tablet is available for them.
  9. Maintaining small groups enables the teacher to better manage the use of the tablets. Rules and expectations are reviewed before starting the activity, and reminded throughout the lesson as necessary.
