This reusable wipe-off book has a number of qualities that make it particularly effective as a tool for teaching young children to print. The feeling of fun exuded by the illustrations and activities on every page immediately excites and draws children in, making them want to stay and play, fully engaged. Having a specific theme (the Furry Friends) allows for a very playful story-like visual continuity that sustains that sense of fun, interest, and excitement. The variety and progressive nature of the activities works to similar effect, keeping kids engaged and motivated. They start out tracing the outlines of simple objects and shapes (ladders, stairs, squiggly lines) before quickly moving on to tracing and writing letters during fun game activities, developing language and printing skills every step of the way. They'll learn basic stroke patterns, left-to-right progression, and letter formation. This 28-page teacher-created, child-tested book is excellent for use in the classroom, childcare centers, and is perfect for home or travel.
