Phoneme handwriting sheets
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 11:26 pm
Hi
I have been using the brilliant Sounds Book Activity Sheets supplemented with handwriting sheets from other websites like Activity Village, as my 5-year old finds them useful to practice with - she gets very frustrated if she doesn't get things right first time and so having the dotted lines enables her to get them right everytime, if you see what I mean. I know not everyone agrees with using tracing sheets, but it works for us - something must go in when she practices the shapes over and over.
We have one problem though - sites like Activity Village only produce sheets to reflect the alphabet and not the full list of english phonemes - so I can't print off a sheet for /sh/. Also I can't seem to download the Jardotty font onto my computer and my printer doesn't seem to want me to print letters in grey (as an alternative to a dotted traceable font) it will only print black, so I can't make my own sheets (unless I do them by hand).
Does anyone know of a site, or Debbie are you going to produce, handwriting sheets in traceable font for all the phonemes, not just the alphabet?
many thanks
Katherine
