Last year I did not require my now 6yo to write on paper. We tried it, but it was a battle. He wrote on a chalkboard instead. Now that he is in grade 1, I would like to transition to paper at some point (maybe by the end of Term 2 at the latest). I think he's ready because he wants to add stuff to my shopping list sometimes. Any suggestions on how to make this as painless as possible? Should I use lined or unlined paper? If I use lined, how big should the lines be? (I'm not using a formal program, just trying to expand on what he was taught in preschool). Oh, and he's printing, not using cursive.
Thanks,
Karen
