A quick printing tip
Use portrait orientation and the same paper size in your printer settings. The PDF includes a white margin so the drawing stays inside the sheet.
With an adult
Bring your lips together, then open them for a short b at the beginning of bear.
Come down the bear's tall back. Travel back up the stem and curve around its tummy to meet the line.
Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
