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 in these 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.
