For a variety of things to do with practicing writing - place flour in a small pan and have your child trace the letters with her finger. When finished, just shake to even out the flour and start again. You can also do this with sand. Another thing you can do is give your child string and have your child try to make the string into the same shape as the letter - and then trace how the letter is written on the string. For variety you could also have your child write it on a chalkboard or a dry-erase board. For some reason, children really enjoy using these - and writing becomes less tedious. Hope some of these ideas help. Thanks! Sumayyah Jane:

Thanks for your ideas im kind of trying to think in fun ways to make her learn to write them without that tracing letter repetition what its too boring for them I think. I can send you my file later. shukran the words I decided to do the movable alphabeet but include the middle patters, beggining and end

In the US you can buy larger size sheets of sandpaper probably at hardware stores. I just purchased small ones - and I was surprised that I didn't use them all up - I still have quite a bit left. I think it probably would be better - and more enjoyable for the kids if you put the sandpaper on some type of cardstock that is contrasting in color - that makes it stand out. Originally I had thought that one woman's version of sandpaper letters was neat - she just traced the letters with the silver glitter paint - but I got worried that the pieces of glitter paint would fall off over time. I'm not sure. Hope this helps! Asalaam 'Alaikum, Sumayyah Umm Sadiqah wa Asma Asalaam ‘Alaikum:
