Handwriting Free Printable: Rainbow Writing {t}

Posted on Feb 28, 2013 | 0 comments

 
Welcome to our Rainbow Writing Series. In this series, I will share free Rainbow Writing Printables that I have created for my children, following my recommended sequence for introducing writing letters to young children.

 
Last week we shared free printable rainbow writing {m}. This week we will continue with the letter, {t}.

 
Rainbow writing encourages kinesthetic awareness and memory, which is required for good handwriting.

 
Rainbow writing is where children practice whole movements of letter writing many times over. They can use different colours or just simply repeat the movements over and over again.

Handwriting Free Printable: Rainbow Writing {t}

 
When doing Rainbow Writing with young children, remember to:

  • Show them how to do the task before expecting them to complete the task independently.
  • Provide little phrases that describe the movement required to write the letter. I’ll share the phrases I use with my children for each free Rainbow Writing Printable that I share in the coming weeks.
  • Be prudent about the sequence in which you introduce letters to them. Here are four guidelines and a recommended sequence for introducing writing letters to young children.
  • Children learn best when presented with a variety of ways to reinforce a new skill. Provide children with a variety of mediums in which to repeat the same rainbow writing of a particular letter. E.g. A tray filled with sand, or salt or over sandpaper letters; or if you’re using these free Rainbow Writing Printables, use crayons, pencils, acrylic paint, water paints, oil pastels, etc.
