Ways to Use the Groundhog ABC Tracing Strips Printable
You will see a few ways that we used these tracing strips with kids.
Laminating the Groundhog ABC Tracing Strips
It is recommended if you are going to use these a lot then print on cardstock and laminate them. But you could only use them one time.
I like to laminate and then cut out the tracing strips. You can see a laminated sheet below. You can see it is not cut out yet. I cut out after. But I know tons that cut out and then laminate and cut out. It depends on which works best for you.
Storing the Groundhog ABC Tracing Strips
After you have the alphabet tracing strips cut out then you use can store them on a ring. This keeps all the strips together and you are less likely to use them. Or at least we are less likely to lose them.
Setting up a Groundhog ABC Letter Tracing Centers
You can use the groundhog ABC letter tracing strips in a handwriting center. You can use the tracing strips you need or all the strips.
You put the strips you need on a ring and provide them with a dry eraser marker to trace the letters.
Some center ideas are:
– Letters of their name
– Sight words
– CVC words
– Vocab
– Letter of the Day
Tracing the Letters
You can use a dry erase marker then to trace the letters. You can use black but it is fun to use colored markers every now and then.
A great trip for colored markers is if they leave lingering color on the strips, you can use dry erase cleaner to get the color off.
Cleaning Off Dry Erase Marker with Q-Tip
You can also get a little extra alphabet handwriting by using a q-tip to erase the dry erase marker on the ABC tracing strips. You can think of it as sneaky practice while doing something fun.
