3 Little Kids... Books! Welcome to the wonderful world of young learners where play is learning and learning is fun! With these Little Kids... books, teachers can provide easy patterns and projects that will help young children obtain the necessary skills needed for their development. The simple activities of cutting, tracing, coloring and pasting provide a variety of cognitive learning skills that will help prepare young learners for reading and writing. These important developmental skills consist of: Fine Motor Skills finger-wrist dexterity, arm-hand movement, hand-eye coordination Perceptual Motor Skills identification, color and shape recognition, matching and location, spatial relationships Expressive and Receptive Language Skills listening, speaking, questioning, relating words and pictures, imitation, utilization, recognition and discrimination, visual perception and discrimination Social and Emotional Skills creativity and imagination, pride in accomplishments, self-reliance, self-control, self-confidence The early years of schooling helps determine how a child will learn for a lifetime. During this period, children develop a sense of self and decide whether school is a burden or a joy. We hope these books assist you in your goal to provide each child with a fulfilling and fun learning experience! Teacher's Friend, a Scholastic Company, ISBN , Little Kids...Trace 3
4 Introduction Little Kids...Trace! Small children need to be able to successfully trace simple lines and shapes before they can learn to write numbers and letters. They also need to be able to identify the numbers and letters of the alphabet by their shapes and forms. During this time, youngsters also need to begin to understand the principle that letters have sounds and that these sounds make words. It is important that you provide activities and experiences to teach both phonemic awareness and basic writing skills. You should motivate the children with a print-rich environment and have materials and manipulatives available to help you teach these essential concepts. The tracing patterns in this book will help preschoolers develop the fine and perceptual motor skills they will need for beginning writing. However, before a youngster can even trace a simple line on paper, he or she will need to develop some fine motor skills by participating in a variety of activities using simple manipulatives and drawing materials. Below, you will find a few simple ideas and activities that can help you teach a young learner how to hold and manipulate a pencil. These activities will also help give the child the practice he or she needs to draw and make basic strokes. Introduce the first few tracing pages found in this book only after the child masters these simple activities. MANIPULATIVES FOR COORDINATION - Have young children manipulate a variety of simple household items to help develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Here are some examples: Screw lids on and off jars and containers Clip clothespins to the edge of a cardboard box Use a hole punch on colorful paper String large beads Pick up small objects with a pair of tweezers Put pegs in a pegboard Assemble large puzzle pieces Snip paper with a pair of child-safe scissors Unbutton and button large buttons Insert a key to unlock a lock or door HOLDING A PENCIL/CRAYON CORRECTLY - Young children will naturally tend to hold a crayon or pencil in their fist. Gently show children that they will have more control if they hold the pencil in their fingers, as shown in the illustration (right). You may find that each child holds a pencil in a way that best fits his or her hand naturally. (Remember, some children have short fingers and others have long ones.) Simply encourage a balanced, relaxed grip. Very young children may tend to use either hand when first drawing. Usually by five years old, the dominant hand is well established. Authorities agree that there is no merit in attempting to make a left-handed child use his or her right hand. NO! YES! FIRST TIME DRAWING ACTIVITIES - Before children can trace a given line, they need experience at simple freehand drawing. You will find that youngsters love to draw and experiment with different writing tools, colors and surfaces. Here are some fun suggestions that will enhance their development: Have each child draw using large crayons (with paper peeled away) on an extra large sheet of butcher paper taped to the classroom floor. Instead of asking children to draw specific items, ask them to draw something happy, funny, pretty, etc. Encourage the children to be creative and to express themselves. Have students practice drawing on a vertical surface by attaching a large sheet of paper to an easel, wall, door or outside fence. This will enable them to exercise the muscles in their fingers and hands in a different way. Provide a sand table or large dishpan filled with clean sand and have students draw designs and shapes using their fingers or plastic utensils. (You may want to add water to the sand and have the children draw in wet sand as well.) On a warm, sunny day, give students a cup of clean water and a paint brush and encourage them to draw on the sidewalk or block wall. Add a few drops of food coloring to the water, if you wish. Place several dollops of shaving cream on a cookie sheet. Have the child smooth out the shaving cream and then draw in the cream with a pointed index finger. You can also cover a cookie sheet with chocolate pudding. Make sure the child has clean hands before drawing the designs and instruct him or her to not lick their fingers until after the exercise. Cover an 8-inch square of cardboard with aluminum foil and have the child draw on the foil using a blunt pencil or craft stick. Note: Before using the tracing patterns in this book, make sure the children understand that they are to follow the direction of the arrows indicated on the pages. To illustrate the significance of the arrows you may want to draw arrows in four directions on the chalkboard--right, left, up and down. Have students point in the direction each arrow points. Children can also draw a chalk line from the arrow on the board to the direction in which it points. Teacher's Friend, a Scholastic Company, ISBN , Little Kids...Trace 4
5 FIRST TIME TRACING ACTIVITIES - After students have practiced drawing on their own, you can begin introducing them to the patterns in this book. Here are a few helpful tracing hints: Crayons, Not Pencils - Have the children use crayons rather than pencils. Large crayons with the paper removed are easier for small hands to hold and manipulate. Rainbow Tracing or Writing - Have the children rainbow write by having them trace each pattern several times using a different color crayon for each tracing. This will give the child more practice and enable you to see how many times the pattern was been traced. Straight, Vertical Lines - Begin with these lines and have the child start at the top and trace down. Left to Right Tracing - Always have the child trace left to right when tracing all horizontal lines. This will give them practice at moving their eyes and hands in the same direction as words are written. Shapes - By drawing shapes, children can begin to draw objects rather than just squiggles. Remember, before a child can write the letters of the alphabet, he or she needs to be able to draw simple, basic shapes. Many children begin writing some letters and numbers before kindergarten. If this is the case, parents should make sure that the child is taught to form the letters the same way they will when they learn to write in school. The first word the child should be taught to write is his or her name. Make sure you teach the beginning letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase. You also need to make sure that the child is ready to learn to write before you begin any instruction. A child s desire to write is one criterion by which to judge his or her readiness. It is also essential that the child has demonstrated sufficient eye, hand and arm control before he or she can manipulate pencil and paper. LETTER AND NUMBER TRACING AND WRITING - Before children actually begin tracing and writing numbers and letters with pencil and paper, introduce some of these fun kinesthetic (finger tracing) activities: On a vertical surface, such as a wall or door, use strips of masking tape to form the letter you wish to teach. Have the child trace the tape letters so that he or she can learn how the letter if formed. Cut letters from sandpaper or felt and have the children trace the letters. Glue yarn to a square of posterboard to form an uppercase or lowercase letter. Let the glue dry overnight and then have students trace the selected letter. After the children have learned how to form the selected letter, have them trace it in the air as they follow your lead. A simple fingerplay or rhyme about the selected letter will help each child remember what the letter looks like and how it is written. Trace the selected letter on the child s back and see if he or she can recognize the letter. Have them trace the same letter on your back. Draw simple shapes or lines on a plain piece of paper. Staple the sheet on top of a sheet of carbon paper with another sheet of paper. Have the child trace the shapes on the top sheet with a sharp pencil or ballpoint pen. Have the child lift the top papers to see the copied shapes on the bottom sheet. You may have questions as to which letters to introduce first. Many teachers recommend starting with the first letter of the child s name. Most introduce the uppercase letters first followed by the lowercase ones. In many cases, success is often achieved by teaching the consonant letters first and then the vowels. However, sometimes teachers simply begin with the letter A and proceed in order through the alphabet. Consult your school s adopted curriculum or excepted standards in determining your teaching method. Here are a few more hints and ideas: It is important that you demonstrate the proper way to write each letter. Do this several times before you have the child attempt to trace the letter. Show each of your strokes in the same way each time you write the letter. The tracing letters and numbers found in this book have arrows that show you how to correctly print each one. (Letters and numbers are represented in simple manuscript style.) Start at the number one arrow and make the strokes in order, tracing over the dotted lines. As the child gains confidence in his or her tracing abilities, have the child try writing the individual letters without tracing. Make sure they continue to use the proper strokes in the correct order. Have the children use oversized pencils or pencils with pencil grips. Provide plain paper when children are first learning to write letters. (Young children often have difficulty staying within the lines of lined paper.) When they are ready for lined paper, use primary writing paper with lines of no less than 1 inch (2.5cm) apart. Instruct each child to place the paper straight up-and-down on the desk or table top. (Slant the paper to the left only for teaching traditional cursive or modern manuscript.) Children should sit in an appropriately sized chair that has a straight back. After each new letter has been introduced to the class, use a center activity to reinforce good handwriting skills. Stock a center with manuscript paper, pencils, crayons and construction paper sheets with the new letter written on them. Students should use a variety of crayons to trace the letter several times before practicing the letter on handwriting paper. Teacher's Friend, a Scholastic Company, ISBN , Little Kids...Trace 5
