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
Let air hiss gently between your teeth for s, as at the start of snake.
Begin at the snake's head. Curve one way, then the other, travelling down towards its tail.
Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
Try this with the picture
Colour the snake. Follow the s path, then try your own.
