Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use controlled pencil movements to print recognizable letters in the correct sequence. They write familiar words and their full name with clear spacing.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student independently prints familiar words with recognizable letters in the correct order. The student writes both names clearly, using steady size, direction, and spacing.
Common Misconceptions: Students may reverse letters, leave out letters, or put letters in the wrong order. They may mix capital and lowercase letters or leave no space between names.
How to Assess It: Give each student a blank name card and ask them to print their full name without tracing. Check letter order, recognizable formation, and spacing.
