Description
Teachers and parents can offer this Cursive Uppercase “Rainbow Writing” activity to children learning cursive.
Learning goals: teach uppercase cursive letter formation, strengthen fine motor skills, improve focus
Points of interest: creative use of colors, encourage child to make choices when possible
Pre-requisite: This template is best utilized after children have been introduced to letter formation and their phonemes. Ideally they have had practice with sandpaper letters and sand trays, and lots of non-writing fine motor practice that has prepared the hand and grip for writing as well as the lowercase letters (available FREE through my store.)
How to present:
-
I like to begin teaching uppercase using the child’s names and the names of people and places they know. Using photos and discussing these people and places can be inspiring to the child and will inspire them to write.
-
Choose only 3-4 letters at a time so they can feel successful completing a task, introduce more if they want to or feel ready.
-
Observe the child’s form and note any areas they may need to correct and plan to present the correct formation at another time.
-
You can further simplify this activity by cutting or folding the form in half and using only the rainbow tracing side and then presenting the lined side at another time.
