He went to Transitional Kindergarten and seemed and they just traced the letters there. But he didn't write any letters or numbers much all summer. [/quote]

I don't have a specific answer for your issue but in the future I recommend getting one of the Summer Bridge or similar workbooks for the summer and giving it to him on long car trips or during plane travel. Doesn't have to be like daily practice but those books often have good guidance for this kind of thing specifically (letter and number formation in particular is something that workbooks actually excel at). It can help make sure your kid doesn't show up on the first day of a grade needing remedial help because of rusty skills or lack of familiarity. Summer learning loss is a real issue and it can have follow on effects if it lands your kid in remedial small groups and then they might not progress as far during the year as they could.

While my kid doesn't love worksheets generally she actually does enjoy getting her summer bridge workbook at the start of each summer and she'll work on it without prompting during travel or even sometimes at home because it's reasonably fun.[/quote]
