With cute illustrations to help children to image the correct pencil strokes, these lovely handwriting practice sheets will go down a treat with your children.
In this handy resource pack you’ll find 11 pages of pencil control activities that children can work on to develop their handwriting skills.
You might want to select one page at a time for all of your children to attempt so that everyone is focusing on the same technique.
Another fun way to use these sheets could be to spread them around different stations in your learning area and have children attempt one at a time of their choice, to encourage independence in learning.
Children will practice horizontal, vertical, waved and circular lines in these activities, all of which can help with letter formation.
After children have completed this activity, they might want to spend some time colouring in the images that are included on each page - there’s frogs, fish, kites and more. This colouring will also help them with their fine motor skills.
Teachers might choose to use them as a set homework task, but they can be equally useful for writing practice at home, for rainy-day activities or for skill retention over the holidays.
You can go through these handwriting sheets one-by-one with your child whenever you have the time. As you guide your child through the simple steps you should see their handwriting, and confidence, improve.
You might also like our Letter Formation Workbook, which will help children learn and practise writing letters of the alphabet.
And you can also check out our Pencil Control and Scissor Skill Resource Pack, for more handwriting exercises, as well as cutting activities. Both can help children improve their fine motor skills.
There are several ways you can improve your children's handwriting:
