The kids liked this and always rose to the challenge! Find a timer of some kind, and set it for 20 minutes, paper and something to write with.  Our word of the day is when

Say it ...spell it...and WRITE IT! the strokes arewhee \ - uuup /  - whee \ - uuup / ;  Plooop  l - Boing! ; vroom  -- snore C - Plop Boing!

w   h   e   n

now...set your timer for 2 minutes and have your child WRITE!  yes for 2 minutes. Say each letter when they print it and say the word after.  Do this throughout the day.  YES! whatever you're doing just stop-drop and write!   (you can change it to 1 minute after they get the word)
