Letter formation skills
What worksheets are here?
In this category you will be finding multiple handwriting worksheets of varying styles. Everyone is designed to help your child write the individual letters of the alphabet.
There is three handwriting styles: printed, joined up and cursive.
Sometimes the joined up style cane known as ‘pre-cursive’. Making things even more confusing. Cursive handwriting can also be called ‘continuous cursive’. In this instance, I will be referring to it only as ‘cursive’ handwriting.
What style is your child using?
To begin with, looking at the writing below, try to find the one your child is using. Your child’s school may already have told you its name. Once that handwriting style has been found. Next, choose the worksheets for your child matching this style.
The three main styles look like this:
Furthermore, to help you find the best resources for your child I have grouped handwriting skills into 4 levels. Here you will find a combination of ALL levels of worksheets.
Handwriting skill levels explained:
- Starter level – for children who are just beginning their handwriting journey. They know how to hold a pencil and are developing pencil control skills.
- Developer level – for children who can control their pencil movements, need to practice writing individual letters, are trying to write words and a few sentences.
- Accelerator level – for older children who can write sentences, paragraphs but need to work on letter size and spacing to improve letter legibility.
- Fine tuning level – for children and teenagers who can write legibly and are looking to increase their handwriting speed.
* However as we are all different please use the age ranges as suggestions. Handwriting is about capturing a child’s imagination and interest. All these worksheets will definitely do this.
