The Best Way to Teach Alphabet Letter Printing for Kindergarten Children
This is the time of technology, innovation and pace. Today’s children are much smarter than what we used to be when we were of their age. They know many more things than we used to know, thanks to technology and the gadgets it is giving rise to everyday. So, is it possible to make use of their increased skills in their studies and understanding? This can make learning and teaching much easier. Curricket.com has found Key Printing – the best way to teach alphabet letter printing for kindergarten children, based on their knowledge of typing. Let’s see what the underlying idea is.
What is Key Printing?
Key Printing is a book which teaches children typing and printing alphabets and numbers. This book is useful for children studying in kindergarten grades 1, 2 and 3. It is based on the idea that most children of today know how to use keyboard (and even if they don’t know, there is a solution following). This is because children keep learning at least basic keyboarding skills at home with their parents’ computers or tablets. Even some toys today have keyboards integrated in them with which children know how to type. So, the idea behind Key Printing is to make use of children’s typing skill and teach them printing.
Key Printing is a 64-page colorful book rich with visuals that can assist teachers to teach students how to type and print all the letters and numerals. It also teaches proper formation of capital and small letters. The book includes instructions on how to find every key on the QWERTY keyboard, and which hands and fingers to use to type each letter and number. The lessons are easy to understand and clear, rich with color-coded illustrations.
Each letter of the alphabet is illustrated in the book in ASL (sign language). This makes your students get engaged in exclusive activities and improve their communication skills. What’s more, illustrated phonics word has been added as a lesson memory key.
But that’s not all!
What if Children Don’t Have an Access to a Keyboard?
Key Printing has a solution for this too. On the last page of every Key Printing book, there is a color-coded practice keyboard, so children having no access to keyboard can use this keyboard.
Bring this colorful, visually appealing, clear and student-friendly book for your students and inculcate the new typing and printing skills in them.
