About the Beginning Handwriting Lessons Sets
I made the handwriting lessons with drawing software. None of my handwriting worksheets are generated.
If you are looking for the manuscript handwriting set that is coordinated with the book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, that large set is under 133 Manuscript Lessons and that set may be also used by beginners.
Readiness
Readiness is a set that allows children to practice drawing the basic shapes of letters and in the direction that they should be drawn.
K-1 Words
During 2002, I had a wild idea to place large and small words on the same worksheet. Each lesson in the Words set has a picture and words in large and small letters.
Targeted
The lessons in Targeted Teaching Manuscript teach writing in bits and then put it all together. Use as a follow-up to readiness or as a refresher for those children who have forgotten or those who have trouble.
Shapes
Shapes offers the 5 basic shapes that a kindergardener learns. A "Draw and Write" Blank is also provided.
K-1 Large Letters
The handwriting printables offered in Large Letters have arrows
and each letter is presented in both capital and lower case on the
same printable. The letters and numbers are large and the page is
printed horizontally.
Medium Letters
Just more handwriting lessons. The Medium Letters set has medium sized letters and the pace is fast.
Recipes
The Recipes web page has a recipe for salt dough that requires baking, play dough, and finger paint. Playing with dough and finger painting might improve a child's motor skills.
Letter Animations
They show how to write a letter. I make these with drawing software and an animation program that allows me to put all the pictures together and set the timing. The entire alphabet is here in lower case. Some day I might add upper case when I can spare 26 hours.
