Alphabet on lines

[explorer]

I have been giving a little support to a small school in a small town. Among other things, I have been encouraging the students with learning English. The older students can read, write and say the letters of the English alphabet (even before I met them).

However, most books and charts used for learning the alphabet, don't have lines (as in the lines on a page of a book they write in). As a result, they don't know which letters are taller, which letters are shorter, or which part of letters go below the line.

Last year I looked in many book shops, mainly in PP, to find a chart with the letters of the English alphabet on lines. I also looked at books. Many charts and books don't put the letters on lines. The charts and books that I did find with the English alphabet on lines, all had mistakes, that is one or more letters written incorrectly.

Does anyone know where I can get a chart with the English alphabet on lines with all of the letters written correctly. That is AaBbCcDd and so on, on lines. I am also interested in any books with the same.

If you know of one, check that all letters are !00% correct. I would appreciate it if you could then photograph it and post the photo, so I can see it is correct. Of course let me know where I can get them.

If you say, only one letter is wrong, I will say that is not good enough to teach students.

After the looking I did last year, there may not be any in Cambodia. So another option is to find a good printer, and get some printed. Can anyone recommend a good printer for printing wall charts. That is something you could hang on a wall in a school.

I would also be interested if anyone knows where to get such a wall chart in Australia. Where do schools get these things?

I teach primary school and develop my own handwriting exercises, especially for the little kids. Random example, based on a jigsaw puzzle exercise:



I can develop some alphabet sheets (A4, PDF) for you, if you like. Note the correct letter a, by the way - difficult to find a handwriting font that is actually correct.

Quick thought - get an A4 version, print as many as you need on white paper, get them laminated and give your kids fine-tipped white-board markers. Instant personal whiteboards.

I remember buying plenty of posters and copy-books for my kid when he was young and they usually had lines. Some are from India and have weird grammar, and some locally produced stuff can also contain errors. It's not all that hard to produce your own stuff if what's available isn't correct or useful. For example I bought my kid a Monopoly set years ago. It was the French edition and I wondered what use knowing streets in Paris could be to a six-year-old. So I made him a Phnom Penh board and cards instead. Recently I got him the Ultimate Banking edition which does away with all that annoying cash-counting. That just uses a bar scanner so could easily be adapted too.

Here's an early version, the later one had more obvious areas like Boueing Keng Kang and Tuol Kork as the most expensive slots.

Thanks StroppyChops,

It is an interesting idea.

Do you know any good places to get them printed and laminated? Any idea on the cost?

What font is that?

Any hole-in-the-wall printer can print and laminate them, in Phnom Penh they'd cost less than 2000r each.

The font is KG Miss Kindergarten.

I sell quite a few resources online, the closet free font to Sassoon Primary fonts that I have found are https://www.topmarks.co.uk/topmarks-fonts .

You should try that yourself. It looks like you need more prcatice.
