★ Capital letters Write and picture-code lower case and capital y & Y and g & G on the board. Demonstrate or translate the capital letter stories: GG always gets into her go-kart to start a name. In her swing she is not looking in the Reading Direction (it makes her giddy), but in her go-kart, she has to see where she is going, so she does face the Reading Direction! When YYM starts an important word, he quickly empties out his heavy yo-yo’s so that he can step up onto the line to show us how important his word is. Notice that the characters’ capital letters appear TWICE in their own names. ★ Handwriting Book Pages 24, 25, 26 and 27
