    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 5, 2018)
    Tetter Tracing Books for Kids Ages 3-5 Handwriting Practice! Recognizing and writing letters of the alphabet is something that should be ingrained from early childhood, or else it will prove to be problematic later on. This Trace Letters Ages 3-5 is apt for accomplishing this purpose. • When children are tracing letters for preschool, it is imperative they learn to trace letters in both uppercase and lowercase, since some of them differ considerably in the two cases. This workbook helps them to practice effectively. • Do you know what makes the concept of tracing really enjoyable? Cute and endearing cartoon pictures that are related to the letters. Brightly colored images not only help to capture interest, but aid in memory, so kids can easily remember and practice. This book is designed to enable tracing letters for kids in a fun and exciting manner. Even if your child is initially unwilling to “practice writing”, they will soon be drawn to this fascinating activity. • The method is extremely simple – your child practices holding a pencil or crayon correctly while tracing letters of the alphabet. This is done to assist with motor control, while helping to learn how to recognize each letter as well. • These tracing books for kids ages 3-5 are versatile and can be used for pre-kindergarten, basic for kindergarten, and basic levels for first graders or toddlers. • When they trace letters of the alphabet, it is necessary that kids are able to see clearly in order to finish the task properly. This letter book is printed on large paper with dimensions of 8.5 x 11 inches, so your child won’t face that problem. Preschoolers and toddlers need a great deal of practice for improving hold and control – this Handwriting Workbook helps in alphabet recognition and tracing in preparation for formal education in future.
