Use songs during large group when teaching children about reading and writing from top to bottom and left to right.  Use your finger or a pointer to model as you read or write.  Sing this song to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes":


Top to bottom,


left to right,


left to right.


Top to bottom,


left to right,


left to right.


When I read and when I write,


I go top to bottom,


left to right,


left to right.
