Very cool! Could you share it? Would love to see how it turned out.

How can I make fluency practice engaging and effective?

What is the progression of writing in TK-1?

I see this question has already been answered but I just wanted to offer up some comments that hopefully others will find helpful:
-I highly recommend Handwriting Without Tears as a resource for teaching how to print letters of the alphabet.
-Letters are best taught out of order when it comes to learning how to print them. Letter “A” for example should not be one of the first letters taught as diagonal lines are a more advanced fine motor skill than say the parallel lines in letter “H”. What I appreciate about Handwriting Without Tears is that the materials and lessons are organized with this in mind.
-When teaching phonemes (the sounds letters make), the ABC order is likewise not the best approach. “S”, “A”, “T”, “P”, “I”, and “N” should ideally be taught first as they are most common in CVC words and early reader texts. Once a student knows those letters’ phonemes they can already start reading! (words such as “sat”, “pat”, “nip”, etc.
