We have already started using them during our small-group literacy rotations and morning work time, and they have quickly become one of the children's favorite activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the handwriting books arrived, the students were so excited—they couldn't wait to open them and start writing letters. Many proudly showed each other their neatest letters and said, \"Look! I made a perfect 'S'!\" It was such a joyful moment to see their enthusiasm and confidence grow right before my eyes.\r\n\r\nThese resources are making a big difference in helping my students strengthen their fine motor skills, pencil control, and letter formation. We're currently working on writing short sentences using our \"rainbow words,\" and the extra practice from these books is helping them feel more prepared and proud of their work.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our next step will be combining handwriting with creative writing. The students will begin illustrating and labeling their own mini storybooks, using the handwriting skills they've practiced. I can already tell how much more confident they'll be because of your support.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students the tools to become stronger, more confident writers.
