⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”I am a Language Arts Specialist at a private school, when we started the year we really focused on all of the kids (Earlychildhood, PreK, and K), all focusing on writing their name, identifying the letters in their name, and focusing on the development of the letters in their name. I tried to find fun engaging activities that the kids would love to use for learning their names. This resources was great, it was easy to use, and editable so I could write all the kids names in it before printing. I even used it as a portfolio resource for showing the parents over time how the students have developed their  name writing skills.”
