I downloaded and installed, but the font did not show up immediately... was a bit concerned, but restarted computer and there the fonts were in my PPT program. Very happy!!! Thanks!!!

[@PreferablyPreK]

@@troyandlizvargas9974 any time you download the fonts, the application needs to be closed out 👍🏼

This was incredibly helpful. I just made my own set for my kindergarten class for next year (the new term starts in March in South Korea).

That's wonderful! I'm happy to hear you were able to create what you needed for your students. Thank you for your comment! 😊

@@HoneyMilkEgg you're welcome 😊 and that's a good question but I don't know 🤔 I only use these fonts in Microsoft.

Thank you so much for helping with these tutorials. could you please tell us where can we find the clipart.

[@PreferablyPreK]

Hi there! Thanks so much! I only have experience using clipart from teacherspayteachers.com. It is free to create an account and you have access to free resources and free clipart. I purchase most of mine from a seller named Whimsy Clips: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Whimsy-Clips but there are many great clipart creators!

[@karenreyes8653]

Such a useful video! When you sell the worksheets on TPT can they edit it? For example the part where the students trace their name

[@PreferablyPreK]

Thank you! I'm glad it's helpful. Yes, if you sell it as a PowerPoint file then it can be editable but they have to have those fonts downloaded.

Hi, there love your power points. Any ideas for teaching English as a second language or any other languages?

[@PreferablyPreK]

Thank you for your comment! 😊 yes, Maple Leaf Learning has really great songs for ELLs. Also play nursery rhymes for them from Super Simple Songs. When you ask them questions, have sentence stems to help them answer in complete sentences and provide vocabulary with pictures. Act out your directions and keep them short and simple, 2-3 directions at a time. And overall, just try to have conversations with them, ask them questions to get to know them and restate what they're trying to say in complete sentences and ask them to repeat. I had 10 newcomers last year and we played picture bingo during small group, these are great since they're real pictures and talk about their use: www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/ca/p/JJ317/?adlclid=d89edada90461afc56a9b987d21ae7ca&msclkid=d89edada90461afc56a9b987d21ae7ca I plan on making a more detailed video with tips for teaching ELLs.

What type of printer do you have?

[@PreferablyPreK]

It's an HP Officejet Pro 8610. I got it for Christmas in 2016 and it's still working well 😊 whenever the time comes to upgrade, I would buy another HP Officejet model. I also have an HP Instant Ink subscription: try.hpinstantink.com/77cryh

[@forevermommymedia]

Ok, so when you hit "install" does the font name automatically show up for you in google drive? Because it's not doing that for me and I wonder what I'm doing wrong... Love the video, though!

[@PreferablyPreK]

Hi there! I'm not sure what you mean by Google drive. I am aware that your installed fonts will not appear in Google slides, only PowerPoint and Word. When I download a font file it automatically shows up in my downloads folders and I click install from there.

[@forevermommymedia]

@@PreferablyPreK (I'm learning on the go lol), so I did not know that you could not use the fonts in Google slides. That's helpful. Thanks so much

I need to write letters with my own handwriting and make tracing worksheets by them for my students. Would you please help?

[@PreferablyPreK]

If you are writing letters with your own handwriting, I recommend writing with a highlighter or light-colored marker so children can trace.

Hello Ms. Espinoza, I have a question: What pages can I use to get free images to create worksheets? Thanks.

[@PreferablyPreK]

Hello! I am not sure of free image websites other than Shutterstock. I purchase my clipart from Teachers Pay Teachers sellers. I am sure if you Google "free clipart" that a few options will come up.

[@nastudiesbyteachernasly]

@@PreferablyPreK Thanks for your answer. 😇

[@kendraclark4404]

Wow I really like all of the tracing sheets I need this for my toddler I think she’s a little behind.

[@PreferablyPreK]

If she is a toddler, I do not think she is behind. She should be doing fine motor activities and some pre-writing skills like playing with playdough and lots of coloring. If you would like for her to start tracing letters, I would recommend starting with uppercase letters and talk about forming straight lines, slanted lines, and curves. You can find tracing worksheets for free online and I don't know if you live near a Lakeshore Learning store but they have great educational products. One of my favorites are these practice books I have in my classroom: www.lakeshorelearning.com/products/language/alphabet/printing-letters-practice-book-uppercase/p/AA555

I went to get the fonts and in order to use commercially you have to pay and its not cheap, do you know of another place to get this type of fonts that don't cost so much? I am wanting to create my own workbooks.

[@PreferablyPreK]

I understand. If you're purchasing from KG, each font license is $5. I believe the dafont.com has free fonts, but read the permissions for each font to make sure.

Oh no! I'm sorry that happened. You need to save the file as a .pdf and then it will print with your chosen fonts. This short video explains how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJzZo4qGo5KErLs

[@ChessInsanity-kl4xs]

These fonts you can't use to then sell your worksheets, right?

[@PreferablyPreK]

Not necessarily. When you download fonts, the creator will have "Terms of Use" (TOU) that will detail how you may and may not use their fonts. The majority allow commercial use for worksheets.

How do you get a lined space. When I space, I get an empty spot?

Make sure you're using a font that will let you do the blank lined space. In this tutorial I used the HelloPractice font for lined space.
