34. Print legibly, using proper pencil grip.

a. Print upper and lower case letters using proper approach strokes, letter formation, and line placement.

b. With prompting and support, print first and last names using proper letter formation, capitalizing only the first letter of each name.

Note: In Kindergarten, students are learning the most basic forms of capitalization. While the standard only requires that the first letter of each name be capitalized, some students' names may include additional capital letters, hyphens, or apostrophes. In such cases, students should learn to write their own names using proper capitalization and punctuation.

Examples: De'Andre McGill, Kim Mi-Sun, Juan de Jesus

c. With prompting and support, use lower case letters in majority of written work, using capitals only when appropriate.

Description:

This resource provides looping videos that demonstrate the writing strokes of each of the lowercase letters, including the proper approach strokes, letter formation, and line placement. The videos can be played during whole or small group instruction to demonstrate the proper approach strokes, letter formation, and line placement, while the teacher observes and provides feedback. These videos could also be used at a center rotation while students independently practice their printed handwriting strokes.
