Today I’m sharing a variety of ways to write letter R in preschool.

We like to make the alphabet in creative ways before we tackle those handwriting sheets.

I printed a giant letter R, and my preschooler filled it with raisins.

Next, he made an R out of rocksthat we bought at the craft store.

My husband found some old rope in the garage. I cut it into pieces, and my Four used them to make the letter R.

He used his finger to write the letter in rice.

We always start with these letters of all sizes handwriting pages. We start with the biggest letter and go down to the smaller ones. Sometimes my Four isn’t up for the smallest letters, so we just leave them.

My level 2 pages are a great next step.

My Four is modeling how to begin our level 3 pages, but he didn’t actually complete it this time. These are tough for him, and I don’t push handwriting on the lines with four-year-olds. When he turns five and has a summer to go before starting kindergarten, we’ll pull these out a little more.

My situation is a bit different… my autistic grandson is working on the fine motor skills needed to write legibly with a pencil. Writing slowly enough to control the pencil and stay on the tracing line is where we have difficulty.

  I can imagine that this is challenging, Kathy! I don’t have experience with learners with autism, so I don’t have special advice for you. But you may find good resources on this blog: http://theautismhelper.com/

I love everything you do. I use your stuff all the time (especially book lists and the letters of all sizes sheets) and have shared your website with a few friends who are starting homeschool with their kids.
I am doing my second year of preschool with my 4 year old, and I still can’t get her to follow instructions sometimes for writing. She LOVES worksheets, but she’s not big into tracing the actual letters. She will at least color them in, but I want her to practice actual writing of the letters. Any tips on how we can move on from the uncooperative streak she’s on?

  Hi Rebecca! You asked about getting your daughter interested in actual writing of the letters. Have you tried having her write with a chopstick or something like that in sand (or salt, sugar, cornmeal, etc.?). That might be a good stepping stone toward writing with pencil and paper. You could also have her scratch the letters into play dough using a craft stick or plastic knife, etc. She could even use an actual (dull) pencil to form the letters in play dough. I think if you can get her to actually write the letters in any form you’re taking a step in the right direction, and I think this is a better alternative than “forcing” the handwriting pages. Do you think that this might work?
