Reaction to the Letter Writing Video
As a high school teacher, it is very difficult to give any type of input (good or bad) regarding this video. However, I spoke with a kindergarten teacher that is always looking for new lessons and methods to teach letters. One of the biggest problems that she faces as a kindergarten teacher pertains to the different levels of her students. She has a number of students that understand the letters to the alphabet, but then there are a handful of students that cannot comprehend what a letter actually is. She said that she is going to try this activity with her students. Separating the students by level will be the best way to get her students to understand the letters. Has anyone else tried this?

Mark,
Great research! Sometimes asking a fellow teacher about topics you do not understand is the first step to learning something new.
You stated, "Separating the students by level will be the best way to get her students to understand the letters." This is definitely a strategy for teaching students at this age. Also, I used to pair up students, having a higher-level student help and tutor a lower-level student. This
activity promotes learning and cooperation.
