Practicing Writing with Your Preschooler/Kindergartner

My daughter, BR, is four years old and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. Unlike her two brothers, she wasn't able to go to preschool. With just six months till kindergarten starts, working with her on some basics will help her prepare, so she's not too overwhelmed when she gets there.  One way to work with her will be teaching her to write her name every day. Plus, it can help pass the time while her brothers are in school.

Creating Custom Printouts for Your Preschooler or Kindergartner to Trace

At KidZone.ws, you can create custom tracing papers that can be used for practicing writing. This is especially helpful if your child is still working on the basics of writing. Here you can choose block, script or cursive writing (which is great for your older kids) and you can type in exactly what you want, so you can create pages with your child's name on it (first and last) or whatever you want them to learn. 

Writing time will be included every day on the daily schedule. Hopefully this will be a fun activity for us to work on together.


What have you done to prepare your preschooler for kindergarten? I would love to hear your ideas.
