Learning to Write Your Letters – Wipe Clean

Sweet Pea received the Wipe Clean: Learn to Write Your Letters : 26 Wipe-Clean Pages of Letter-Writing Fun (Wipe Clean) for her birthday. She begs to work on her letters in this book.

The book comes with a dry erase pen and I love how the book “carries” the pen along. Every letter has a line to practice writing the letter and then different words that have the letter in it. There is usually an activity involving the letter as well.

There are a few downsides to the book (as with anything book). Not all of the pictures shown use the “correct” phonetic sound. For example, with the vowels, I only teach the short vowel sound. The book will use both short and long. The handwriting lines available to practice writing the letter are not spaced evenly. For some reason, the top two lines are closer than the bottom two lines. Both of these are pretty minor as there are so many pluses to this book.

I highly encourage for children ages 3 and up. Dry erase activities are always fun. Just remember to wear a paint shirt as dry erase marker does not come out of clothing!

Great Christmas or birthday gift or just to work on learning!
