Invest in magnadoodle type toys or individual chalkboards. That way the kids can practice over and over. Some chalkboards even have the letters on them they can copy and then erase - see something like scholars choice or a teacher store.

Printing can get expensive and you have to wonder at our level if it is worth it. Probably I would do the erasable kind for most of the week and then on Friday do it on paper that goes home so the parents still get to see the progress week to week and they are not bombarded by paper to recycle. Anything that keeps our costs down is so worth it not to mention the environment.

For name cards print on cardstock and laminate TWICE for durability from constant erasing. Then they can trace over their names over and over. I have done this and put seasonal pictures at both ends such as a snowman and snowflake and then sent them home monthly for them to continue practice if they want.

Good site for sheets to put in page protectors and have them do. Once they can complete these they are ready to move on to actual letters.

Do a search but there are several websites that you can input the name/word and it will print out a dotted line for tracing. Can't remember off hand the sites though so if someone wants to list that would be great.
