Awesome Animal Alphabet Poems: ABC


After many years of teaching and looking for the perfect handwriting program to blend together in my classroom curriculum.  I decided to make my own letter formation poems & pictures. This book is my first step towards teaching the lower case letter while learning about really awesome animals at the same time.  

Start at the green dot and trace the arrows.  This can help kids learn the correct starting and stopping points of letters.

Tracing the actions of the animals with the corresponding letter sounds should help the kids to make the connection between letter formation and letter sounds.

Using these action poems for the animal should help them remember how the letter is formed and make that visual connection too.  


Poems are more descriptive than saying; “a line with a bump.” 
The poems add a little story to how the letter is formed.  

Only lowercase letters because students will be using them the most for spelling and reading.
If you do the math on the above sentence only 1.086% are capital letters.
Basically, 98% of the printed or written text that we use is lowercase.  
Yes, we still need capitals, but we use more lowercase daily.
The students will see the lower case letters more often.

Air Writing Alphabet book NEW Release

978-0-473-46320-5 My new book with flashcards pages and teacher notes on the back pages. The back cover has the reversed view of letters for a teacher to use as a reference. Order book Here Air Writing is a fun way to use play-based learning.  It is simple and a low prep activity.  There is one important thing to remember when using air writing:   when you are facing another person,  the view will look reversed to them.   It is the mirror effect.  Your right will be their left. So as a teacher, when I am facing a student, and they ask how do I make a letter h? I need to remember to turn the h backward, so they see the correct view. For me: it is a big stick down then bump to the left.  For them:  they see a big stick down and it bumps to the right.  ( the correct way) It takes a little bit of extra thought before making the letters. One letter at a time is easy! But w...
