O.k. so now I've found this great little site called Read Today. It's a neat little site that offers a great list of printables for letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and some short words!
Today, I printed off letters A-F for Creston to focus on. He was able to trace the letters (see the pics. below). This was his first attempt at tracing, so he was a bit wobbly, but really did pretty good! 
There was also a printout for letters A-F along with lines for practicing writing the letters. You can trace the letters first, then try your own hand at making them all by yourself. Creston did pretty good with the tracing, but was a bit intimidated with making them himself. I didn't push him. I don't want him to get frustrated with himself since he's new to this and it's not that big of a deal if he can't do it yet! That's what learning is all about! Learning how to do stuff and how to get better over time! (not sure you can see it, but the A towards the right hand of the page is his own "A"!)
I also printed off the numbers 1-5 and let him point and count to me how many stars were on each sheet! He did this very well (he had already been doing this for a while, though). The other blank-looking page in the picture below has the shapes of a circle, triangle, square, and star on it. He knew all of these, but had a hard time remembering the square. We'll keep at it! He'll remember them all before long!! And......lastly, I let him cut the coupons again! I have lots of these coupons books since K-mart just finished up with their double coupon event this past week. I figured they would be GREAT practice for helping him learn to cut straight lines! He LOVES cutting!!
