Back to School - Preschool Writing & Tracing Review - Letters A -G

Hi, I'm Miss Monica. What's your name? Well, I'm so happy you're here today. Today, we're going to practice tracing or writing. I put together a few letters from my circle time videos for you to practice with. If you're ready to write, you practice writing. And if you're ready to trace, you practice tracing. Have fun, happy learning, bye. Letter A, uppercase and lowercase. Remember families, if children are not ready for writing, write the letter for them and let them trace on top. Let's practice uppercase A first. Everyone ready? Great, we're always going to start at the top when we're writing or tracing. So starting at the top, watch first and then we'll do it together. So I'm going to start at the top line here and make a diagonal line down this way. Go back to the top. Diagonal line down this way. Then go to the middle and straight line across for uppercase A. Let's try it together. Okay, my friends, find a space starting at the top and diagonal line down this way. Go back to the top. Diagonal line down this way. Go to the middle and straight line across. Wow, and try it one more time. I'm going to trace it with my finger. You try it at home. Starting at the top, diagonal line down this way. Go back to the top. Diagonal line down this way. Go to the middle, straight line across. Uppercase A, keep on practicing. Now, let's try lowercase A. Lowercase A, we start in the middle. So you can start at the middle line if you have lines on your paper. And watch first and then we'll try it together. Start in the middle, straight line down to the bottom. Go back to the top and curve around to the bottom for uppercase, oh, excuse me, lowercase A. That's right, let's try it again. Try it with me. Okay, start in the middle, straight line down. Now go to the top of that line and make a big curve. Curve around to the bottom for lowercase A. Give it a try again, one more time. Start in the middle, I'll try again with you. Straight line down. Now go back to the top of that line and curve around to the bottom. Oops, mine is leaning forward. Oh, that's because I'm writing sideways, but that's okay. You do the best that you can. You keep on practicing and you'll continue to get better. And now it's time for us to practice tracing or writing. Whatever your child is ready for, that's what they can do. We're going to practice letter B, uppercase and lowercase. So let's start with uppercase. Watch me first, okay? Watch me first and then we'll try it together. Uppercase B, I start at the top. We always start at the top. Start at the top, draw a straight line down. Straight line down. Go back to the top and curve around to the middle and curve around to the bottom, uppercase B. Let's try it together. Find a space, start at the top. Straight line down, go back to the top. Curve around to the middle, curve around to the bottom. One more time, uppercase B. Start at the top, straight line down. Go back to the top and curve around to the middle. Curve around to the bottom, uppercase B. Uppercase B has a straight line and two curved lines. Now let's try lowercase B. Lowercase B, watch my friends. It has one straight line down. And when you go to the middle, it has a curve to the bottom. We're lowercase B. Let's try it together. Find a space, start at the top. And straight line down, go to the middle and curve around to the bottom. We're lowercase B. There it is. You can keep on going, keep on practicing. Your uppercase and lowercase B is our writing. Today we are going to practice writing letter C. Letter C, uppercase C and lowercase C. Are you ready? Great, here we go. We're here at the drawing and writing board. We're practicing writing today. If you don't have anything to write with, it's okay. You can use your pointer finger in the air and practice tracing the letter C, okay? And for those of you who do have paper and you are going to be practicing writing, well, you can get ready. I'm going to use my red marker for our letter C and let me open it. First, we'll start with uppercase C. Now, the uppercase C, uppercase C and the lowercase C, lowercase C, they look the same, they look the same except the uppercase C is big and the lowercase C is small. So we're going to practice writing it big and practice writing it small, okay? Great, so let's start by watching me first. Watch me the first time and then you can start. So we're going to start at the top. We'll go to the top, but we'll also move over to the corner a little bit and then I'll start right here and I'll curve up and down to the other corner. It's a curved line. Letter C is a curved line. Remember, some letters have straight lines and some letters have curved lines. Letter C has a curved line. All right, let's do it together. Okay, start at the top and now find the corner which is on the side a little bit and curve up and down to the other corner. Let's do it again. Go to the top, now find the corner. It's on the side a little bit and curve up and down to the other corner. Let's keep going. Remember, go back to the top, find that corner, curve up and down to the other corner. Now parents, some children may need a little assistance. If they need help, you can just do what we call a hand over hand assist. That means you put your hand on top of theirs and you help them with the writing, okay? Let's try again. Keep going. Go back to the top, find that corner and curve up and down to the other corner, again. Go to the top, find that corner, curve up and down to the other corner. Let's do it again. Go to the top, find that corner, curve up and down to the other corner. Two more. All right, go to the top, Find that little corner. Curve up and down to the other corner. One more. Go to the top. Find that corner. Curve up, down to the other corner. There you have it. Uppercase C. Now let's try the lowercase C, which is the same C except it's small. I'll erase my board. You find some more room to write, and then we'll practice. We're ready to practice lowercase C. Remember, we need to make lowercase C a little smaller. Uppercase C is big, and lowercase C is small. Here we go. Okay, we'll go to the top again. Find the little corner, and curve up, down, and find the other corner. See? It's a little smaller. Again, find the little corner. Curve up, down into the other corner. Let's do it again. Go to the top. Find the little corner. Curve up, down into the other corner. And it's okay if you're making it a little larger. That's okay. You do your best. You keep on practicing. Let's try again. Okay, go to the top. Find the little corner. Curve up, down into the corner. Again, start at the top. Move over to the corner. Curve up, down into the corner. Start at the top. Find the little corner. Curve up, down into the corner. Again, start at the top. Find the little corner. Curve up, down into the corner. And start at the top. Find the little corner. Curve up, down into the corner. Lowercase C. Great practicing, everyone. you keep on practicing, keep on trying and every time you practice you'll continue to get better. We did uppercase C and lowercase C today. Great work. I'm very proud of all of you. D is our letter of the week. We have uppercase D lowercase D. Let's practice our uppercase D and lowercase D. We will practice writing it. Now remember every letter makes a sound and D says d. Can you make that sound? D for dinosaur. D for duck. D for donkey. D for doughnuts. Letter D. Now let's practice writing the letter D but before we write it today let's go over the lines that letter D has. Letter D uppercase has a straight line and a curved line. Lowercase D has a straight line and a curved line but they look different so we will have to write them a little different. Are you ready to practice? Great. Meet me over at the drawing and writing board. I will use my blue marker to practice writing letter D. Now watch me first. I'm going to start with uppercase D first. Watch first then you're going to try. Here we go. Start at the top, line down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. That's uppercase D. Now you give it a try. We'll do it together. Are you ready? Oh and remember if you don't have anything to write with it's okay you can practice in the air. All right let's go. Start at the top everyone and go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. Let's try it again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, curve to the bottom. Let's keep going. Try it again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. Let's try again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. One more time. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top and curve to the bottom. Uppercase D. You just practiced uppercase D. Now let's do lowercase D. Okay get ready for lowercase D. I'll still use my blue marker. Watch first. I'll do one first and then we'll do it together. Here we go. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle and curve to the bottom. Lowercase D. Now you give it a try. Let's do it together. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, curve to the bottom. Whoo let's do it again. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, curve to the bottom. Let's do it again. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, curve to the bottom. Let's go again. Another one. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, and curve to the bottom. One more. Start at the top, go down, go to the middle, curve to the bottom. Lowercase d. You did it. Now you just keep on practicing, and every time you practice, you'll continue to get better. We practice writing uppercase D and lowercase d. This is uppercase E. If you said uppercase E, you're correct. Let's do it again. This is lowercase e. If you said lowercase e, you're correct. Oh, you all have been doing wonderful all week with the letter E. Now let's put letter E on the board, and then we can practice writing. And now it's time for us to practice writing the letter E. We'll practice uppercase E, and we'll practice lowercase e. So if you need to stop the video or pause, you can. You can do it now to go get paper or a notebook or anything to write with, but if you don't have those things, it's okay. You can just practice with your pointer finger in the air. Are you ready? Great. I'll meet you at our drawing and writing board. Now we're going to practice writing it. I'm going to show you first, so watch first, and then you can practice with me. I'll use my blue marker. Here we go. Watch first. Looking eyes. Uppercase E. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, across on the top, and go to the middle, across in the middle, and go to the bottom, across on the bottom. Wow! Uppercase E. Now you try. Let's do it together. Let's start at the top. Go down, go back to the top, across on the top, go to the middle, across in the middle, go to the bottom, across on the bottom. Let's do another. You're doing great. Keep on going. Go to the top. We'll start at the top, and go down, go back to the top, across on the top, go to the middle, across in the middle, go to the bottom, across on the bottom. Uppercase E. Let's keep going. Again. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, across on the top, go to the middle, across in the middle, and go to the bottom, across on the bottom. Let's keep going. Two more. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, across on the top, go to the middle, across in the middle, and then go to the bottom, across on the bottom. One more. Start at the top, go down, go back to the top, cross on the top, go to the middle, across in the middle, go to the bottom, across on the bottom. Wow! Uppercase E. You did it. Great work. Keep on trying and keep on practicing. The more you practice, the better you'll get. All right, it's time to practice lowercase e. I'll erase my board, and then we'll do it together. Okay, now it's time to practice our lowercase e. Now let's look at this lowercase e. Lowercase e is a little different from the uppercase e. You see? Lowercase e has a straight line, and it has a curved line. So let's try pointer fingers in the air. Now let me show you really quickly. When you start with lowercase e, you start kind of towards the bottom. You pick a spot, and then you go out to the side, your straight line, and then you curve all the way around. Let's try it in the air with our pointer finger. Ready? Okay, pointer finger up, pick a spot in the middle, right here. Now let's go out to the side, and then curve all the way around. Let's try it again. Pointer finger up, pick a little spot. Now out to the side, curve all the way around. You did it! Now let's try it with writing on paper, and I'll write on my board. If you don't have anything, again, try it in the air. Okay, let me put this back. Here we go. I'm going to use my blue marker again. Lowercase e, let me show you first. Watch first with your looking eyes, and then we'll try it together. Okay, pick a spot, go out to the side, and curve all the way around. Lowercase e. Now you try. Let's do it together. Pick a spot, go out to the side, and curve all the way around. Lowercase e. Let's keep trying. If you need help, it's okay. Let someone help you, and you keep on practicing, and you'll get better every time you practice. Let's keep going. I'm going to do one here. Pick a spot, go out to the side, and curve all the way around. Do it again. Pick a spot, out to the side, and curve all the way around. Let's do some more. Pick a spot, go out to the side, and curve all the way around. Again. Pick a spot, go out to the side, and curve all the way around. Lowercase e. You're doing it. And guess what? The more you practice, the better you'll get. Keep on practicing. Let's practice writing letter F. Are you ready? Great. Meet me over at our drawing and writing board. I'm going to use a green marker today so that we can practice writing letter F. We'll start with uppercase F first. Watch me first. I'll show you how to write it, and then we'll do it together. All right. Here I go. Uppercase F. Now we start at the top. Start at the top, and we're going to draw a straight line down, and then go back to the top, and draw a line out to the side. Now go to the middle, and draw another line out to the side. There you go. Uppercase F. Now let's try it together. Here we go. Start at the top. Start at the top, and draw a straight line down. Now go back to the top, and draw another straight line out to the side. And go to the middle, and draw another straight line out to the side. There you go. Uppercase F. Let's keep going. Let's try another. Start at the top, draw a straight line down. Now go back to the top and draw a straight line out to the side. And go to the middle, and draw another straight line out to the side. Let's do another. Start at the top, and go down. Now go back Back to the top and draw a straight line out to the side. Go to the middle and draw another straight line out to the side. Letter F. Uppercase F. Let's do two more. Start at the top. Draw a straight line down. Go back to the top. Draw a straight line out to the side. Go to the middle and draw a straight line out to the side. One more uppercase F. I'll do mine here. Start at the top. Draw a line down. Go back to the top and draw a straight line out to the side. Go to the middle and draw a straight line out to the side. Uppercase F. There you go. How did you do? Oh great. Keep on practicing. Remember, the more you practice, the better you get. Now let's try lowercase F. I'll erase my board and then we'll try lowercase F together. All right. Now it's time to practice letter F, the lowercase F. I'm going to use a paint marker to do lowercase F. I'll do one first. You watch me first. And then we'll do it together. Okay, here we go. Watch me first. Lowercase F. I'm going to start at the top but find a little corner right here and curve up and then draw a straight line down and go to the middle and draw a short line across. Look at that. Let's try it together. Start at the top and go to the corner a little bit over to the side and then draw a curve line, a small curve line. And now a straight line down and then go to the middle and draw a little line across. A short line. It's not long, it's short. Let's try again.

Oh, you can keep on practicing. Keep practicing and the more you practice, the better you will get. We're going to practice writing letter G. I'm going to clean my board and then meet you over there so we can write. I will use my red marker to practice writing letter G. I will practice the uppercase G first and then we'll practice lowercase G. Now I want you to watch me first so you can see how we do letter G and then we'll do it together. Okay, let me open my marker. I'll practice first one time and then we'll do it together. All right, so for uppercase G, we're going to start at the top, over in the corner a little and we curve all the way around and then we make a straight line in. That's uppercase G. Now we can try it with our pointer first. Let me show you with this G. Look at our uppercase G. Point your fingers up. We start over in the corner. Go to the top. Find your little corner and you curve all the way around. Stop in the middle and then draw a straight line in, in. Now let's try it on the board. You get your pencil or crayon ready. Here we go. Let's do it together. Go to the top. Find the corner. Curve all the way around to the middle and then draw a straight line in. That's uppercase G. Let's do it again. Start at the top. Over to the corner. Curve all the way around to the middle and then draw a straight line in. Uppercase G. Let's try it again. Go to the top. Start over at the corner. Curve all the way around to the middle and then draw a straight line in. Uppercase G. Two more times. Go to the top. Over to the corner. Curve all the way around to the middle and then draw a straight line in. One more time. Go to the top. Over to the corner. Curve all the way around to the middle and then draw a straight line in. Uppercase G. How'd you do? Oh, remember, the more you practice, the better you'll get. Keep on practicing. Now I'm going to erase my board so we can try lowercase G. You can keep practicing. Okay, time for lowercase G. Now, lowercase G is a little different. So watch me first and then we'll practice together. Lowercase G. Let's start in the middle. Curve all the way around and then you're going to draw a line down. Line down and curve it just a little. Curve a little. Lowercase G. Let's try it again. Go to the middle. Curve all the way around. Then draw a line down and curve it just a little. It's like a hook. Okay, now let's try it together. First, point your finger up. I want to show you with this G. So we start in the middle and curve all the way around. And then we draw a line down and curve it just a little. Like a hook. Just like that. Okay, let's try it together on the board. Here we go. Go to the middle and curve all the way around. Then draw a line down. Down and curve it just a little. Like a hook. Okay, let's do it again. Go to the middle. Curve all the way around. Then draw a line down and curve it just a little. Like a hook. Again, go to the middle. Draw a curved line all the way around. Then draw a line down and curve it just a little. Like a hook. One more time. Go to the middle. Curve all the way around. Then draw a line down and curve it just a little. Like a hook. Lowercase G. How did you do? Oh, great.
