Pull down, trace up, push across… Write in sand or shaving cream. Have students write their letters in the sky or on each other’s backs. Make letters with playdoh, noodles, wax sticks, or pipe cleaners… The sensory input of letter formation helps develop a motor memory for letter shapes in the brain.
