Pre-K Reading & Writing · World 8: Writing Table · Level 45
Writing Tools
Know what we write and draw with.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.
For grown-ups
Your child names the tools we write, draw, and paint with, and what we write on. At home, practice holding a crayon or pencil with a pinch grip. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 45
- We write and draw with tools! A pencil, a pen, and crayons all make marks on paper.
- We paint with a paintbrush. Dip it in the paint, then brush!
- We write and draw on paper, or in a notebook.
- Hold your pencil with your thumb and two fingers, like a little bird beak, pinching it!
- Try it with a grown-up! Draw a picture with crayons, then with a pencil. Which one makes brighter colors?
