LittleIzumi Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 As if I were to stamp it on the paper for dd to trace? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcaller Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I don't know about stamps but you could download free fonts and print your own pages. Here are a couple links to get you started: http://www.fontspace.com/search/?q=elementary http://www.fonts101.com/search/abc+print+dotted+line.aspx Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrainejmc Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Learning resources make them, available from Amazon. I won't try to link because it never works for me.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtotkbb Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I don't have ones w/ dotted lines - but mine are "outline" form so that I always had my kids practice tracing inside the form. Does that make sense? I'll couldn't find my set on amazon, but if I find one later today I'll post a link. I purchased mine about 20 years ago though w/ my first dc.

MelanieM Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yep, they do. Here they are in uppercase and lowercase. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks!! Dd is doing great at math but the writing is frustrating her, so she's getting mad at the math and wanting to stop due to the writing. I think this will help--she can pick the number & then practice writing it but not feel so pressured to remember it (she keeps writing them backwards).

isitnaptime Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You could also use a regular stamp in a light color such as yellow or pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 You could also use a regular stamp in a light color such as yellow or pink. It looks like that's what I need to do. The small tracing numbers are discontinued and the jumbo kinds are too big. I wonder if the craft store has any.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganW Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You could also use a regular stamp in a light color such as yellow or pink. Much better idea - we have the dot kind, and my kids tend to "connect the dots" instead of truly learning to write the numbers with smooth strokes.

nukeswife Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This past year with my youngest who was having trouble with all writing I would have him tell me the answer and then write with a highlighter for him to trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcaller Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 These free printables were just released. Might be just the thing to give your DC some practice with numbers... http://homeschoolcreations.blogspot.com/2011/06/number-tracing-cards-free-preschool.html Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscopup Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I prefer having them trace solid lines instead of dotted lines. It's usually easier for them to see what they've done, and there is no chance of them "connecting the dots", which is incredibly choppy. :) I use Startwrite and can make whatever I want in whatever size I want. Have you considered that? It's great for copywork in general. The highlighter idea is a great one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisak Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 http://www.dltk-teach.com/numbers/number-stamps.htm I used this website a lot when my younger daughter was learning to write and such. Also, you mentioned that your daughter is reversing the numbers. This is very common in young ages. I remember teaching a class at church and thinking the children must have some issue the parents should be correcting as they were reversing the numbers. I talked to one of the parents and she said to keep watching and I will notice it will improve and the child would get it right in a few months. This child was in first grade. This mother had been through this with two other children, so she knew what to look for. I did not have experience with this yet, as my daughter was much younger at the time. Anyway, the numbers did correct themselves. I thought I would share this as it is perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Also, you mentioned that your daughter is reversing the numbers. This is very common in young ages. :iagree: My newly 7 year old still has very occasional reversal of '3' (did it just recently), though that's mostly outgrown. He's been reversing 'b' and 'd' a bit lately, so I'm going to work on handwriting again to work on that. He wasn't doing it while doing HWT. Usually if I say "Does that look right?", he'll notice right away what's the problem. He'll often notice it himself immediately after writing it without me saying anything. His hand and brain just don't seem to be connected sometimes. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
