#'s - I always model starting at the top with our numbers.
Number one is like a stick, a straight line down that's very quick!For number 2 go right around, then make a line across the ground!
Go right around what will it be? Go around again to make a 3!
Down and over and down some more, that's the way to make a 4!
Go down and around and then you stop. Finish the 5 with a line on top!
Down and around in a circle you go. That's a 6 just as you know!
Slide to the right. Then slant the line. That makes a 7 every time!
Make an "S" but do not wait. Slant back up to make an 8!
Loop to the left and add a line. Now you've made number 9!
Make a 1 and then a 0 that makes 10. Now you know!
Alphabet letters - we use the Zaner-Bloser font at Lemont. (I don't have sayings for them all - I've listed the ones I usually use)
