Description

This just-right sized package for beginning writers includes the two PK consumables and the basic student manipulative kit. The 94-page My First School Book begins with pictures, colors, and shape identification, then students begin learning letters, starting with capitals. First learn vertical letters, then circular, then diagonal. Includes a wood piece instructional chart (written in English and Spanish).

My First Lowercase Book then ups the challenge by teaching lowercase letters in a systematic pattern. The included 4 chalk pieces, 2 short pencils, and 2 sponge cubes are enough for one student to get started. Non-consumable, the wood pieces (13 total), wood piece mat (including an instructional chart written in English and Spanish), and the slate chalkboard can be used for multiple students, taking turns. Purchase GSSBM2 if you need the Readiness and Writing Teacher Manual, which provides the instruction for this kit. ~ Ruth
