Today I am practising: moving from a model sentence to independent copying
1
Read: I see a red hen. Point to each word.
2
Trace: I see a red hen.
3
Copy the sentence on the line below.
4
Circle the capital letter in your copy.
5
Put a dot under the period in your copy.
6
Read your copied sentence to an adult, touching each word once.
- Read the sentence aloud naturally before asking for any tracing.
- Use tracing only once so the final copy shows the child's own spacing and formation.
- Ask the child to compare the first and last marks with the model.
