Handwriting Fix

I can't believe that we are almost 70 days into the school year.  The students are making progress and growing so much.  I love to teach writing because the students get to express themselves and be creative.  However, this year the students are really struggling with handwriting.  I have tried many different things like apps, paper practice and displaying visuals all over the room.  Many students are still not seeing the difference between tall and short letters.  So, I decided to make new name tags that I hope will help.  I like the yellow highlights to really help the tall letters stand out.  I used them yesterday and it seemed to help.  I will keep you posted on how it goes.  I would love any feedback on what you think.
