Worried that your child isn’t getting enough handwriting practice in school? Looking at their work and wondering why it’s not improving or why it can be hard to read? The Lower Case Letter Handwriting Workbook can help with that.
Did you know learning to write is a taught skills and only requires 10 minutes a day of practice. That’s it. Kids need to know where to start their letters, where to stop them, and easy ways to form them. This is not something they can pick up by looking a worksheet or a sample. Spending a few minutes to show your child how to make the letters and a few minutes to let them practice is how writing becomes so easy they don’t even have to think about it. That’s what a solid writing foundation looks like.
Ages: End of kindergarten on up. Capitals come before lower case.
