Handwriting Booklet

       

A 52 page handwriting download.  Each letter features a double-page spread.  Copy the pages back to back so that each letter is on a double page spread (you'll have to create a title page so that it allows the "Aa" pages to be on adjacent pages.  I bind mine for durability an ease when turning pages.  On the first page, students use a thick marker to trace the large outline letters.  They then use paper punchers and glue on punches that begin with focus letter.  In the next box, students find and object that begins with the focus letter.  They glue the object to the empty space and write the object's name on the line.  Objects may be found in magazines, stickers, clip art, etc.  The class then reads the poem, and highlights all the upper and lower case letters for the focus letter.  Finally, on page one, students use their best writing and trace letters and write letters to complete the line of focus letters.  On page two, students continue tracing and writing upper and lower case letters.  At the bottom of the page, the class words together to identify words that contain the focus letter (begins with, ends with, or contains) - don't forget classmate names, months, and days of the week in this section!

Handwriting Pages

From the Learning Page.  These can either be sent home as extra practice pages or laminated and put into the Handwriting Literacy Corner [center].  I printed, laminated, and then filed them in hanging files.
