Kindergarten, Handwriting and the Interactive Whiteboard
Handwriting and the Interactive Whiteboard
"I teach Kinder and find that different sets of lines are needed to show them where to write their letters. So I have a group of pages which have different sets of lines eg one plain base line only, two lines with no upper or lower guides (for tall and long letters), 2 solid lines and dotted upper and lower lines etc.
As each sound is introduced I add that sound to a new set of pages using an outlined font, so by the end of the year I will have every letter with it's own set of pages.
The children enjoy coming and writing on the board and it is easy to show how to position their letters depending on the lines they use."
