Handwriting is really just drawing letters. And every child can use a little more practice with pencil control and focusing on what they are writing without the pressure of having to generate unique thoughts to write. My 7 Days to Better Handwriting is designed to do just that.
You and your child made it to the finish line… almost. Today’s final exercise is a chance to take all the skills we’ve practiced this week and put them together. Drawing, writing, spacing and coloring: invaluable ingredients to perfecting handwriting at any age.
Another common issue early writers struggle with is the spacing between words. Kids are either writing HUGE LETTERS that are spaced out beyond belief or they can often be found writing tiny, tiny, tiny letters squished so close together you can’t read them.
Who doesn’t love to color? Even adults, who swear they have no artistic training or skill can’t pass up a few easy shapes and a new box of crayons or fresh juicy markers.
Day Four of the Handwriting Challenge is another easy, but effective set of exercises. No matter the trend, year, even age, this classic activity always wins.
We are so excited! 7 Days to Better Handwriting has finally arrived. In order to see improvement you need to know how well your child is drawing and writing already. You need to see where they are to see how far they’ve come by the end of 7 days.
I am so excited, the long awaited 7 Days to Better Handwriting starts Monday!
Since handwriting is so important – I’ve spent the last couple of months developing and testing special activities and writing sheets so you can help your child improve their writing.
It’s mid December and kids have been in school for about 16 weeks. While tidying up Brayden’s papers and being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of worksheets kids do in first grade; I noticed his handwriting. While there were some bright spots, overall it was sloppy and inconsistent – both letters and numbers – so it was decided his handwriting needed some extra attention at home. So what are we going to do? I’m creating the first EVER…. Brownie Bear Handwriting Challenge!
