Kick Start Kindergarten Teacher's Guide

Kick Start Kindergarten bridges the gap between PreK and K with developmental, multisensory handwriting instruction that introduces capital and lowercase letters through tracing and early writing exercises.

This program is designed to be intuitive, engaging, and developmentally progressive with children actively participating through movement, talking, and singing. Lessons introduce posture and grip, capitals, lowercase letters/words/sentences, and numbers.

Lessons are easy-to-use and includes an objective, a lesson introduction, the student workbook page number, QR codes for multimedia elements, reduced-size student pages, and a detailed lesson plan with enrichment, support/ELL notes, and cross-curricular connections at the bottom. The back of the book includes more detailed instructions for the multisensory activities. The online resources referenced throughout are available for free during a 30-day trial only; after which there is a subscription charge to access them.

This curriculum can be supplemented with the wood pieces set for capital letters, capital letter cards and mat for wood pieces, Rock, Rap, Tap & Learn CD, slate chalkboard and blackboard with double lines, little chalkboard, eraser cubes, and chalk pieces, Flip Crayons, and Pencils for Little Hands.
