Fine Motor Skills

• Strength and Coordination: Tracing requires controlled hand movements, building strength and coordination in the finger, hand, and wrist muscles. This improved control lays the groundwork for future writing and manipulation of tools.
• Pencil Grip: Tracing activities encourage students to hold a writing utensil correctly, developing a comfortable and efficient grip essential for future writing success.

Pre-Writing Skills

• Letter and Shape Recognition: Tracing introduces students to different shapes and letter formations, fostering familiarity and visual memory. This recognition is crucial for later independent writing and reading.
• Hand-Eye Coordination: Following visual cues to trace lines accurately improves hand-eye coordination, directly translating to writing fluency and letter formation.

Cognitive Development

• Concentration and Focus: Tracing requires focused attention to stay within the lines, enhancing concentration and maintaining focus on a task. These skills are vital for future academic success.
• Visual-Spatial Awareness: Tracing helps children understand spatial relationships between lines and shapes, developing visual-spatial awareness crucial for reading, writing, and problem-solving.

Emotional and Social Benefits

• Confidence and Self-Esteem: Completing tracing activities fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem, motivating students to continue learning and exploring.
• Creativity and Self-Expression: Tracing can be a playful and creative activity, allowing students to experiment with colors and patterns, fostering self-expression and a love for learning.

Word Tracing

• Letter Formation: Tracing words helps students solidify their understanding of letter shapes and proper letter formation, preparing them for independent writing.
• Vocabulary Development: Tracing familiar words reinforces their spelling and meaning while tracing new words introduces them to new vocabulary words in a fun and engaging way!

This tracing activity pack is a fun and engaging way to build skills and confidence for pre-writers!

Adapted Books with a focus on "Wh" Questions: "What" and "Who" is a set of four books designed to help children learn and practice their comprehension skills. The set includes two books with a focus on "what" questions and two books with a focus on "who" questions.

Extend student practice through print and go worksheets, task cards, and a sorting activity.

Adaptive books are a valuable tool to use with students. While the books do require some prep work such as printing, laminating, cutting and velcro; they can be used again and again! They are highly motivational for even the most reluctant learners. Each book has 8 picture icons to choose from. You can easily adapt by sharing less options with your students.

What:

Book 1: What do you wear? is a fun and interactive way for children to learn about appropriate clothing choices for different weather conditions. It presents various scenarios and asks children to choose the correct clothing to wear for each situation. For example, "It is a sunny summer day and you want to go swimming". What will you wear? Clothing for all seasons is included.

Book 2: What are they doing? is designed to help children practice predicting and understanding cause and effect. It presents various situations and asks children to determine what the characters will do in each scenario. Children can reinforce their understanding by stating what they would do in each situation. "I will... Situations include: Cooking, painting, playing ball, crying, cleaning, eating, reading and sleeping.

What/Who:

Book 3 & 4: This book is available as either Who lives here or What animal lives here. They are a fun and engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their habitats. It presents different locations and asks children to choose the animal that lives in each place. Support is provided with a hint for each animal to help children who may not have prior knowledge of the animal's habitat or characteristics.

Example: Book 3 - Who lives inside a home? Book 4 - What animal lives inside a home? Hint: I am soft, cuddly and I meow. Animals include: starfish, bunny, skunk, penguin, fish, bear, whale and cat.

Book 5: So many jobs! Who will do them? is designed to help children learn about different occupations and the roles they play in society. It presents various jobs, including traditional careers such as teacher and firefighter, as well as more unusual careers such as rockstar. This book encourages children to think about what they might want to do when they grow up. Jobs include: teacher, farmer, ball player, firefighter, police, fisherman, cook & rockstar!

Book 6: Who will do it? This book presents a problem (I need or I like something), and a solution (who I can get this from). For example, I like cookies. Who will bake them? or I need groceries. Who will I pay?

• 2 pages of sorting pictures into "who" and "what columns.
