Ways to Use the Shark ABC Tracing Strips Printable
Youi will see a few ways we have used the shark letter tracing strips in learning centers.
Laminating the Shark ABC Tracing Strips
These shark alphabet tracing strips are great to use when laminated. You can print each page on cardstock and laminate them.
You can see below that we like the laminate them and then cut the tracing strips out.
Storing the Shark ABC Tracing Strips
Once you have all the tracing strips cut out. You can then put them all together on a ring. This is a great idea to keep the tracing strips all together.
Setting up a Shark ABC Letter Tracing Centers
You can see below a very simple set up of a letter tracing center idea. You can have several or all the letter on a ring with a dry erase marker for tracing.
Some letter tracing center ideas are:
– Letters of their name
– Letters of the sight words you are learning
– CVC words
– Vocab words
– Letter of the Day
– Spell different shark names
Tracing the Letters
After have you the letters you are going to be using, then have kids trace the letters.
One fun option is to also have them trace the example of how to write the letter as well as the letters on the tracing strip.
Cleaning Off Dry Erase Marker with Q-Tip
A fun idea you can do it to use a q-tip or cotton swab to clean off the dry erase marker on the tracing strips.
This is a sneaky way to add more handwriting practice on the shark letter tracing strips. The cotton swabs are great to work on fine motor skills. And retracing the letters help them with their fine motor skills.
Way to Use the Laminated Sheets for Handwriting
Now if you love using the tracing strips but don’t want to do all the cutting and putting them on a ring. You can just laminate the sheet and let kids tracing the letters on each sheet.
You could also put the page in a sheet protector if you don’t want to laminate.
But this allows you to work on several letters at a time. You might want to trace a letter set each day.
