Writing Uppercase Letters
 
Letters are made from circles and lines,
Pushes, slants each letter looks fine.
Make them as we sing this song.
It’s easy when you join along.

Slant, slant, push in between.
Slant, slant, push in between.
Slant, slant, push in between
To make the letter A.

B - Pull straight down two humps on the right
C - Circle round and then you stop
D - Long straight line and half a circle
E - Pull straight down, then push, push, push
F - A tall line, push at the top and middle
G - Circle round, stop, and then push in
H - Pull, pull, push in between
I - Pull, little push at the top and bottom
J - Pull down, make a hook, put a hat on top
K - Straight line, slant in, and out again
L - A long line and push on the ground

You can write your ABC’s
Give yourself a big smiley!
 
*Use invisible writing (2 fingers in the air with a
stiff elbow) to practice letters.

*Do “tummy writing” where children lay on
their tummies and extend one arm above
their heads as they make letters on the floor.

*Have children stand in a circle facing each
others’ backs.  First child writes a letter on the
person’s back in front of them.  Go around the
circle as each child write the same letter.
