Teaching to write letters: Book & Video Recs

[mommy111]

Posting this for a very dear friend.....Do the mamas here have any recommendations for good teaching to write books and/or even videos? Anything that they use? Friend's DS appears to be way behind his kindy class in forming letters. Part of the problem is that its really hard to get him to actually sit and concentrate. The other part of the problem, though, is that my friend just hasn't found a good practice book of the kind that they use in kindergarten. I was wondering if the mommies (and daddies) here had any suggestions re books and/or videos that would make the process more interesting for her DS.

my suggestion would be to talk with his teacher about what she would reccomend to help him. she might have specific tools or ideas that would be the most helpful.

There are worksheets you can download for free. I quite like them. There are also some Priddy writeon/wipeoff workbooks and flashcards. I got mine at Costco, but Amazon sells them too. Staples usually has workbooks too.
