How to use it

Show where each stroke starts and which way it goes before tracing. Trace slowly with a pencil, then try a few freehand on scrap paper. It is pitched at the expected level for Pre-K, for practice after the skill has been taught.

There is no separate answer key; talk through the answers together when it is done.

Tip for grown-ups: Watch where each stroke starts; the starting point matters more than neatness.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
