    It’s wonderful you want to create more effective lesson plans. Consider the children’s interests when selecting a motivator for learning, take into account the standard or teaching point you are teaching when structuring the activities. Different schools use different lesson plan styles and different curriculums so do not be afraid to reach out to our supervisor or a more experienced teacher for assistance.

    How do I introduce kindergartners to writing?
    Community Answer
    Let them learn to recognize the alphabet first. Once they're familiar with the letters, give them large sheets of paper with the outlines of the letters on it. Ask them to go over each letter so they can learn what it feels like to write them. As a final step, ask them to write the letters themselves without a sheet to trace.

    You could repeat things several times over and have her say them back to you. And teach her little songs and rhymes about it so she can remember. It might be helpful to see a child psychologist to assess your child as well, in case she has a learning disability.
