00:00I'm using the skills they already practiced in Kedankarten and I'll just reinforce what

00:14they did before by showing the gesture and also reducing step by step their place, the

00:28lines, the space between the lines so that they can improve their fine motor skills and

00:35practice a bit more.

00:38First I will look at the hand they are using because of course left handed children are

00:45a bit more challenged because the way you write letters is sometimes difficult for them

00:54to adapt but another thing I'm also checking is the way they are under the pencil of course.

01:06Real pleasure actually to teach and you can tell by their dedication to do their best.

01:14If they don't manage to do the letters properly, I still have different tools like sand or

01:28play dough etc. so that they can have the sense of the letters and of course you can

01:37see that on our walls we have some models as well so we are practicing not only here

01:46at school, we are practicing also at home with their parents because we bring some models

01:53we can practice as well.

01:54What are your favourite letters to write?

01:55C because my name starts with C.

02:01I also like doing Y.

02:04Yeah Y is fine.

02:07And why do you like Y?

02:09I like it because it has different actions in it.
