Focus:
Writing Strokes
and Own Name Teaching Materials

Independent
Practice

Objective: Allow students to practice tracing their name and using writing

strokes with high levels of independence as they strive for mastery. In

addition, bolster writing readiness with fine motor activities.

Practicing and Extending Skills by Practicing Own Name: Provide students

with a page inside a clear plastic sleeve that has their name printed four to

six times (depending on the length of the name). Also supply a dry erase

marker and tissue. Ask students to trace all their names and then put a star

next to their best one to show you.

Practicing and Extending Skills by Applying Writing Strokes: Allow students

to revisit the worksheet for zigzag practice and provide additional white

paper and crayons for students to create more hot air balloon pictures

independently.

Refining Fine Motor Skills: At the sink, direct students to take turns using

their cups of water from the Warm-Up to see how many cups of water it

takes to fill a large container (e.g., pitcher). Actually keeping track of the

number is an optional challenge.
