What does this kindergarten handwriting unit cover?

It covers holding a pencil, starting letters at the top, forming uppercase and lowercase letters, telling them apart, and writing numbers 0 to 10. By the end, a child should write most letters and numbers clearly enough for others to read.

How does RepeatWatch help with handwriting practice?

Set an A–B loop on one letter being drawn so a child can trace it in the air, then on paper. Slow the stroke to 0.75×, save letters on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops so practice stays short and fun.

Frequently asked questions

Which letters should my child write first?

Many teachers start with the letters in a child's name, then uppercase letters made of straight lines, such as L, T and E. Lowercase letters follow. Grade levels vary by country and school.

Is this playlist about cursive?

No. These videos teach print letters and numbers, which is what kindergarten covers in the US (ages 5–6). Cursive, where it is taught, usually comes around 2nd or 3rd grade.
