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 Upper Case Handwriting Workbook can help with that.
Did you know learning to write is a taught skills and it 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:5 and up. Capitals come first. Start here when learning to write. Pair this with the instruction they are getting at school.
Not getting instruction? Look for a workbook with more stroke instruction (focuses on where to start and stop) and pair with this as extra practice. This workbook is built on the student knowing many of those prompts already.
The Upper Case Handwriting Workbook is 78 pages and is endless practice. This activity comes with an instruction guide that offers several ideas to make the practice fun and not feel like learning.
