Tracing Letter J

When your child is ready to practice tracing the Letter I, you can use activities like shaving cream on a baking sheet, bath paints, or even pretend sky-writing the letter I. Beyond that (and when my child is ready), I will use sheets like this one to start practice.

Here is a super-cute video from the Singing Walrus to start talking about the correct way to trace and write the Letter I.

Fill your days with songs, videos, crafts and more that you can do with your student to learn the letters of the alphabet. But there are so many other activities you can do, too!

Making Jello, or some other "J" craft would be my favorite. (As long as Jellybeans are also included!)

Focus on recognizing the letter at the beginning of, and within words. Give your student the gift of strong phonemic awareness skills. You can also use digital sound flashcards like these free ones to practice learning sounds of letters.
