Awesome Animal Alphabet poems: ABC book New Release

Very excited to release my latest book: Coming out in Hardcover soon! Softcover is already available  978-0-473-47258-0 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.

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 when doing lots of letters, and trying to say the correct letter sou
