Teaching tips
What worksheets are here?
In this category you will find multiple resources to help teach your child handwriting. Here you will find checklists, goal setting tools and motivational tools.
To help you find the best resources for your child I have grouped handwriting skills into 4 easy to understand 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.
*Please use the age ranges as suggestions. We are all different. Handwriting is about capturing a child’s imagination and interest.
