Printing practise activity sheets for lower case letters a-z. Suitable for NZ junior classrooms. The font used is ‘NZ Basic Script’. The letter shapes are the same as those recommended in the NZ Ministry of Education Handbook – ‘Teaching Handwriting’. 14mm lines with a 7mm dashed line. The pages can be made into a workbook if you wish. A slightly larger left margin has been used to allow for stapling and two choices of title page are provided. Made on A4 size paper. Included: ♦ 26 pages: a-z alphabet ♦ Title pages (2 different layouts with either boy or girl graphic) Activities on each worksheet: ♦ Write your name. ♦ Circle/highlight the letter in the alphabet string (top of page). ♦ Trace the letter (start here dots are used) ♦ Write the letter (start here dots are used) ♦ Write the letter independently (no start here dots) ♦ Trace the words that start with the focus letter. ♦ Find and circle/highlight/colour the focus letter (always 5). ♦ Draw a picture of something that begins with the focus letter. The pages alternate with a boy/girl holding the sign. For the letter ‘x’ - words that contain the letter x have been used instead of words that begin with the letter x. A light grey font has been used for the tracing activities. © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

A Māori alphabet letter recognition activity for NZ junior students. Print and laminate the sheets and place them together to form a ‘road’. Your students drive a toy car along the road and park at the whare that is the answer to a question you give them. And just because you’ve stopped by and read this description, you get to see that this resource includes more than just the alphabet … Included in this resource: ♦ Alphabet – lower case – all vowels on one page ♦ Alphabet – lower case - jumbled ♦ Alphabet – upper case – all vowels on one page ♦ Alphabet – upper case - jumbled ♦ Numbers – numerals 1-20 - ordered ♦ Numbers – numerals 1-20 - jumbled ♦ Numbers – words 1-10 (tahi-tekau) - ordered ♦ Numbers – words 1-10 (tahi-tekau) - jumbled ♦ Blank template (black and white) for your students to make their own ‘Drive to the whare’ activity. There are 10 whares on each page. Because the alphabet only has 15 letters, I have included the vowels with macrons so that the resource is 2 complete A4 size pages. So what it means by ‘all vowels on one page’ is that there are the 5 vowels on one side and 5 vowels with macrons on the other side of the street. The toy cars are not included in this resource. You don’t have to use cars, you could use trucks, motorbikes, horses, etc. Your students could bring a toy car from home if you don’t have any. Examples of Activities: * Drive your car to a whare where the letter _______ lives. * Drive your car to a whare where the letter that makes the ____ sound lives. * Drive your car to a whare where the letter lives that is at the start of the word ____. * Drive your car to a whare where a vowel lives. * Drive your car to a whare that has a letter that is in your name. * Drive your car to a number that is one more than ‘rima’. * Drive your car to a number that is the answer to 5+3. © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources
