Auf der Rückseite jeder Packung befindet sich eine Karte mit Leerzeilen, mit denen Ihr Kind das eigenständige Schreiben der Buchstaben innerhalb eines bestimmten Bereichs (der Zeilen) üben kann. Nehmen Sie die Karten mit in ein Restaurant, eine Kirche, zu Omas Haus, im Auto, in einem Flugzeug ... sie begleiten Sie überall hin und halten Ihr Kind beschäftigt und ruhig!

Sie müssen selbst zu Hause ausdrucken und zusammenstellen: Haben Sie einen Kleinen, der das Alphabet schreiben lernt? Brauchen Sie etwas, das ihnen hilft, Spaß macht und praktisch ist? ⭐️ Wir stellen kleine Buchstaben von Little Lennons vor, {PDF Digital Download Version}⭐️ Diese wiederverwendbaren Buchstabenkarten zum Aufklappen und überall hin bieten endlose Möglichkeiten, Ihr Kind in Alphabet-zentrierten Aktivitäten zu fördern und zu interessieren (und sie passen bequem in Ihre Tasche!). Jede 4x5,5-Zoll-Buchstabenkarte kann verwendet werden, um Großbuchstaben zu erkennen, Anfangslaute mit entzückenden Tieren zu lernen, jeden Buchstaben zu verfolgen und zu lernen, den Buchstaben mithilfe von Objekten im ganzen Haus zu bilden. Verwenden Sie ein trockenes Löschutensil, um jeden Großbuchstaben nachzuzeichnen (den Pfeilen und Zahlenangaben folgend), dann mit einem Tuch oder Filzlöscher und verwenden Sie ihn erneut! Kinder sind eher bereit, es zu versuchen, wenn sie wissen, dass Fehler leicht wieder weggewischt werden können! ⭐️ Eine andere lustige Art, diese Karten zu benutzen, ist mit Objekten wie Spiel-Doh, Spaß-Schaum, Pfeifenreiniger, Wiki-Sticks, Perlen, Cheerios oder anderen manövrierbaren Objekten, mit denen Ihr Kind die Form jedes Buchstabens erstellen kann. Rollen Sie etwas Play-Doh aus und lassen Sie Ihr Kind den Pfeilen folgen, um jeden Buchstaben zu bilden, was eine neue Sichtweise auf das Alphabet der Großbuchstaben fördert, die schließlich zum Auswendiglernen jeder Form führt. ⭐️ Verwenden Sie die Karten als Karteikarten am Schlüsselring, um die Erkennungs- oder Anfangstöne zu fördern, spielen Sie "Was fehlt?" heften Sie die Kärtchen in alphabetischer Reihenfolge oder benutzen Sie sie um die Schreibweise von kurzen, einfachen Wörtern zu lernen. Sie können sogar Gegenstände im Haus mit einem Laut beschriften (legen Sie das T auf den Tisch, das F auf den Boden, das D an die Tür usw.).

Do you ever struggle with teaching a child how to stay within the lines when coloring? Coloring inside the lines can be a tough skill to teach, especially if the child has visual motor or perceptual challenges. One technique that I've found to be helpful is to provide a tactile "cue". Just take some clear Elmer's glue or a hot glue gun and outline the edges of the picture. This provides a nice tactile "ridge" that the crayon will "bump" against when the child is coloring. I've found that it is also helpful to glue the coloring picture to a poster board to keep the child from ripping the paper while coloring. I also like to teach the child how to color in small circular strokes rather than using large back and forth strokes, as this gives them more control. First I demonstrate how to do this, then I move them through the motions with "hand-over-hand" guidance, then I let them give it a try with verbal and gestural prompts. This takes a lot of practice, but they eventually get it!
