Handwriting Practice Tips

CLICK HERE for some FREE handwriting copywork and printables.

You can also make your own by writing letters and words in pencil on handwriting paper and have your child trace them in markers. No need for making dots to trace.





My favorite handwriting program for preschoolers and kindergartners is Handwriting Without Tears.








For early elementary, I recommend Draw Write Now because this series also gives children great story writing practice, as well as reinforces correct sentence structure, punctuation, and capitalization.




I like to practice handwriting with my older children in the summer. There is no need to teach handwriting as a separate subject as soon as your child writes the letters correctly because he will be practicing his handwriting in his writing assignments daily. In the summer, my family uses A Reason for Writing. I also like how my children get to practice writing letters and scriptures.
