Ideas like writing in the air with swim noodles, chalk outside, paint, etc. The one thing that was a big hit with my 6 y/o boy was making a rectangle on the floor with painters tape then having him either line his HotWheels up in the shape of the letter or "driving" them the way that you would correctly make a letter. The tape gives a good boundary and a nice corner for starting at the top. <a href="http://www.hwtears.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hwtears.com/</a> I have found "Handwriting Without Tears" to be a great resource for more ideas like that.

It warms be up inside to see parents being parents and doing their jobs to the fullest. Please keep it up.
