The Importance of Warming Up Fine Motor and Tracking Muscles for Letter Formation
Warming up the fine motor muscles in students’ hands and the tracking muscles in their eyes is crucial for developing proper letter formation. These exercises help build the strength, control, and coordination needed for writing, ensuring students can form letters accurately and efficiently.

How to Use the Tracing Sheets:
To support your students’ letter formation development, use my four shapes tracing sheets as warm-up exercises or for muscle development and control:

• Laminated with a Whiteboard Marker: Laminate the sheets and use a whiteboard marker for repeated practice.
• Magnetic Overlay Board: Place the sheets under a magnetic overlay board for an engaging and interactive experience.
• Photocopied for Direct Writing: Photocopy the sheets so that students can write directly on them with their preferred mark-making tool.
