• 00-PRINT-GUIDE.pdf (2 pages): which file to print, how to print, what every term means

3 LINE STYLES FOR GRADES 1 TO 4
• Wide Lines (Grade 1): top line, dashed middle line and bottom line with big spaces
• Regular Lines (Grades 2-3): the same three lines, smaller, with more space to write on your own
• Single Line (Grades 3-4): one notebook-style line for older students
• The same joke or fact sits on the same page number in every file, so you can give each student the lines that fit
ON EVERY PRACTICE PAGE
• Warm up: trace the focus letter or number, then two sight words from the joke or fact
• Read the joke or fact, trace it one line at a time, and write it on the empty line right under it
• Jokes: "Guess the answer first!" before students trace the punchline
• Bonus lines to write it again from memory
• "Check your work" boxes: capital letter, spaces, tall letters, punctuation, read it out loud
• "How funny was it?" or "How cool was it?" faces to color
MADE BETTER FOR YOUR STUDENTS
• Our own clear print letters: tall letters like t, d, b, h and l reach the top line
• A start dot on every traced letter, and numbered strokes on the charts
• Bold, easy-to-see periods, question marks and exclamation marks
• Short, clean jokes that young kids understand, and facts checked for accuracy
