During this ongoing class, learners will be introduced to one letter each class to ensure mastery using a multi-sensory approach to help build phonemic awareness. We will do this by saying the letter, attaching a meaningful motion to the letter, and saying the sound the letter represents that goes with that letter. Afterwards, it will be time to show students how to form each letter correctly using the handwriting sheets that I will provide each week. Each handwriting sheet is complete with picture cues for each line to better help students know where to start, begin, and form each letter correctly. This class will follow the "I do, we do, you do approach" where I will model for students how to form the letter, we will do it together several times, and then students will practice on their own receiving real time feedback from me. Afterwards, students will be able to color their picture that represents each letter. 
I will be provided a printable PDF handwriting sheet for students to use during this course. You can use this sheet on its own with a pencil, or you can make an extra copy, place it in a sheet protector for your learner to use a dry erase marker in order to practice the letter several times. You could even place these sheets into a binder to create a handwriting practice book for your young learner to practice their lowercase handwriting skills again and again.
***Please note that letter will not be taught in alphabetical order, but by similar letter formation. Please feel free to jump in at any time. No prior background knowledge is needed.****
