Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Letter Tracing Alphabet Book
Smart Kids Printing Press · 2019
65/100
👎 Skip It
The trace-then-write-independently progression is the right structure for teaching letter formation, and the coloring activities keep it from being pure rote drilling — that's good design for the age group. The problem is this is a completely undifferentiated product in an extremely crowded field, from a publisher with no identifiable educational credentials and no named author. It will work fine, but there's no reason to choose this one over dozens of comparable options.
