How to use the Practice Copy at home l l l l l l l l
Follow the steps on the inside front cover to prepare for writing. Start by practising tracing patterns. On each letter page, review the numbered step-by-step guide to letter formation in the top-left corner. Trace it with your finger, followed by a crayon or pencil. Practise tracing the letters, then progress to writing letters on the lines provided. Name words that begin with the letter you are practising. Colour in the phonetically linked illustrations. Use the matching activities to help you recognise writing letters and reading letters. Refer to the alphabet page on the inside back cover to see numbered guides to all the letters in the alphabet.
