Once you've gotten your student familiar with the handwriting strokes, quickly move on to teaching the Circle Letters. The first 3 are a, c, and g. They all begin at 1 on the Circle Slide board and move counter clockwise to 2, 3, and on to close at 1. It's important to encourage kids to follow this pattern. It lays the foundation for learning cursive later and helps them start focusing on reading left to right. Stick to lower case at first. Next teach f. It starts as a circle letter upstairs in the second floor. Move on to g and o. Teach the letters q and u together with your first spelling rule, "Q is always followed by U." The last Circle Letter is s. Then teach the letters that begin with a straight line: b, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, t, u, and y. Finally end with e, v, w, x, and z.
