Scissor Skills Cutting Practice with Alphabet Tracing

Make learning scissor skills and cutting practice fun and practical by integrating it with the alphabet and prewriting skills. Our fun activity pages are ideal - just print and you're set!

I've added some basic 'alphabet' content to this set to maximise the learning potential on each page!

Students will

• cut around a large rectangle
• cut various lines from the edge at varying lengths, angles and shape
• trace a picture to match a letter of the alphabet
• color the picture
• write the focus letter in upper and lower case

The cutting tasks on each page:

• get increasingly difficult
• move from simple straight lines to curves and zig zags

All cutting requires students to cut from the edge and stop 'at a point'. These are essential activities before students attempt learning to cut a complete shape.

2 sets of tracing pages are provided

• One set follows the alphabet from a to z with the pages progressing in difficulty in that order.
• The second set's cutting order progresses in a similar manner but the alphabet letters are in a different order - M, S, T, N, A, R, L, D, F, I, V, P, K, X, E, B, J, O, C, H, U, W, G, Z, Y. New picture tracings are also included for variety!
