✍️ Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Tracing meaningful words—like the names of real people who accomplished great things—is far more engaging than tracing random letters. Children take more care when writing "Rosa Parks" because they've learned about her courage. This emotional connection improves focus and handwriting quality while building historical knowledge simultaneously.
