Making the ABC Book
I wanted to keep all of the letter tracing sheets together in an easy to grab busy bag book for my boys. After printing and cutting the freebie (below), I picked up a 4 x 6 photo album from the dollar store and slid the pages inside the sleeves.
Then, I grabbed a Matchbox car and invited the boys to join me. Easy peasy!
Letter Tracing
Giving kids plenty of practice forming letters is an important step in helping them become independent writers. When children can write the ABC’s automatically, their brains are freed up to work on other parts of writing like identifying letter sounds and adding punctuation.
Since I wanted the boys to learn correct letter formation, I included a little GO sign at the start of each letter. My boys placed the car on the road next to the sign and drove their car across the letter.
So straightforward and engaging!!

I’m having the same problem that several others have had. I love the road tracing sets. I downloaded the number and lowercase road tracing sets, but I can not get the uppercase set to download. I’ve watched the video, but still no luck. Please help!
