Children love to learn how to write the letters of the alphabet, especially the letters in their names. Correctly writing letters requires visual motor skills, grasp/grip strength, eye-hand coordination, good posture, focus, etc. There are many fun ways to help a child learn to form the letters of the alphabet, without picking up a pencil. It is important to use a multi-sensory approach during the learning process. Try using shaving cream, sand, play-dough, rice, glue, sandpaper, etc. Little Table Literacy has some great resources including several free downloads, such as 10 Ways to Make Your Name, on http://TeachersPayTeachers.
