Learning Without Tears Writing Project

Funded Sep 8, 2022

The "My First School Book" and "My First Lowercase Book" gave each student their own book to feel proud about. It gave them an opportunity to practice their uppercase and lowercase letters and practicing their drawing skills. Furthermore, it became a routine in their morning writing session after practicing their writing, students would grab their workbook and know exactly what to do. These books are used for whole class instruction to go over letter sound, letter formation, and words that start with that letter. It was an enjoyable experience.

As the semester progressed, I noticed students tracing the letters with their fingers or recognizing letters in different areas of the classroom after our workbook time was completed. It helped a lot of students recognize the letters and their sounds. Moreover, I noticed it helped them develop strong drawing skills since each page required them to color in an object or animal after tracing over the letter of the day.”
