Writing the Alphabet Mini Camp

In this 5 week course, young children will learn how to write all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet and numbers 0-9.  Students will also learn about the headline, midline, and baseline, line placement, and how to hold a writing utensil.  This class has a multi-sensory approach to instruction.  Students will use their bodies to form letters and numbers on the headline, midline, and baseline.  Students will write letters and numbers in the air with their finger, build letters and numbers with play dough and wiki sticks, drive the formation of letters and numbers with toy cars, and trace and write letters with writing utensils on paper.  Students will learn the formation of three to six letters and numbers each day based on that week's theme.  Optional at-home practice that focuses on the letters learned each day will be provided.
