I create letter booklets by binding together letters created with an outline font into book format.  We then cover the letter with punches made from craft paper punches, leaving finger spaces between each punch.  Gel glue works best for this.  We only do one page per day.  Once the book is complete, students run their hands across the letters to form the letters - - the letters give fingertips a neat sensation!

Wikki Stix Letters

Students use Wikki Stix to form upper and lowercase letters and then write the letter in their response logs or on a sheet.
