Today, was our first letter day. It was L Day. L is the first letter taught in our handwriting program. We focus on writing uppercase letters in Pre-K.
The Learning Without Tears Website stated, "Developmentally, capitals are easier to write so we teach them first. The capital teaching order helps teach correct formation and orientation while eliminating reversals. Learning to write capitals first makes it easy to transition to lowercase letters" (https://www.lwtears.com/blog/how-teach-alphabet).
We spent our day doing a variety of activities that begin with the letter L and practiced writing the letter L.
