How to use these sheets

  1. Trace the light copy. Slow down and stay on the line; accuracy beats speed.
  2. Write one from memory. Cover the model, write the word, then compare and circle the part that moved.
  3. Say the word. Read it aloud in English and Spanish as the child writes — sound and shape reinforce each other.
