Say “green says go” at the green dot, and “red says stop” at the red one. Show them the practice sheet and invite them to trace it with their index finger first (without using a writing utensil first).You can download this practice sheet here. Make sure you do the same so your child can learn to write the right way (no pun intended!) We teach this to our students one child at a time, as the teacher needs to observe to make sure the child is following the right directions (otherwise they are learning it and practicing it wrong, which will impact their writing skills in the future). If your child is not attending our schools and you would like to try these at home, make sure you follow the directions indicated on the large letters (green means start, red means stop, and the arrows will point you in the right direction. This line specifically also teaches your child to follow the left to right direction as they will do when reading (in English), so it has an added benefit. They are the exact fine motor skills required for your child to learn to form letters. These worksheets are used at our CEFA Early Learning schools for our 2 year old children (Junior Kindergarten One), to prepare them for writing alphabet letters and numbers, amongst other things.
