These number stories were created by Handwriting Without Tears. I added them to half-page sheets and included a large number big enough for tracing. A grey box around each letter helps to show the appropriate starting corner. Those who are familiar with the grey boxes through HWT will find this helpful! Each letter also includes the starting point "smiley face". Use these as a helpful reference for number formation, and to put in dry erase pockets for students to practice reading the stories an
