Why is handwriting so important?

Handwriting plays a vital role in literacy and cognitive development by activating neural pathways essential for reading skills. Handwriting engages fine motor skills and cognitive processes, leading to better memory retention and improved letter recognition. Developing proficient handwriting enhances language processing, fine motor skills and coordination, and creates a strong foundation for literacy and fluency.

How it works?

Alphabet Pages - Alphabet pages can be used to teach correct letter formation prior to beginning the phonics based handwriting pages. Each alphabet page includes uppercase and lowercase letter practice. Early finishers can trace the alphabet picture images for extra fine motor practice.

Word Only Pages- 4 per page

1. Look at the picture and read the word.
2. Trace the word (starting at each dot for correct letter formation)
3. Write the word (starting at each dot for correct letter formation)
4. Write the word independently on the handwriting line

Sentence Pages- 2 per page

1. Look at the picture and read the word.
2. Trace the word (starting at each dot for correct letter formation)
3. Read and Trace the Sentence (starting at each dot for correct letter formation)
4. Write the sentence independently on the handwriting line

Please note: Sight/heart words are woven throughout pages that follow the specific phonics rules AND also words that have the phonics rule, but do NOT follow the rule (heart words). Small words with long vowel sounds are included throughout (i.e. me, we, he, by, my etc.) Some sentences may have small sight words that do not follow the specific phonics rule because they are needed for a sentence to flow in a grammatically correct way. (ie. in, is, to, the, etc.)
