How we form our letters!

We have been working really hard on our letter formation. Below are some videos to help you see how we form our letters correctly!

 

Before we start writing we have to make sure we are holding our pencil correctly. We can check that we have the correct pencil grip, by using our crocodile fingers, to 'snap and flick' the pencil!

We use this song to help us practice our pencil grip!
