he/she is writing. It
is easy to make
quite a few of them
so you can send
them home with
your students. Cut
out a rectangle
from the flat side of
the recycled milk
container. Using
one of the pages
from the
Handwriting
Templates with
Alphabet Guides, I
placed the opaque
rectangle over the
highlighted lines
and traced where I
wanted to cut out
the window for
handwriting. Using
an exacto knife and
scissors, I cut out
the rectangle boxes
to make the
stencils. That is all
you need to do!
Now place the handwriting stencil over the lines and the student will have a
tactile guide to help him/her with proper letter sizing. Just move the stencil along
as you write. If you need to write below the line (ie letter g in dog) just slide the
stencil down so that the top of the rectangle window is at the dotted line. This
will now provide a tactile cue at the bottom of the line for letters that fall below
the line.
