Then, they will trace letters on the handwriting lines. Finally, students will write the letter multiple times on the handwriting lines.
Because this resource comes in black and white, these strips can also be used like worksheets, in which case students can use crayons, markers, pencils, and other art supplies.

More Ideas to Use the Alphabet Strips
This alphabet activity provides students with three different forms of exposure to the same letter. This is very beneficial for students just learning letters or students who are struggling with them.
If you laminate the strips, students can form the first letter using play dough. Write and wipe pockets are also great options if you don’t love laminating resources.
