Making the ABC Book
I wanted to keep all of the letter tracing pages 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 ABCs 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!!

Hello,
I am trying to download the diagraph playdough mat, but the link is broken. Would you please email me a copy?
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for reaching out. I checked the link for the digraph playdough mats and it should be working. You can find it in THIS POST. Be sure you scroll all of the way down to the bottom of the post and click on the blue Download Here button. You’ll be asked for your name and email, and after entering the information, you should be directed to the freebie.
