Handwriting

Handwriting. One of my kids’ least favorite things. But, it’s one of those necessary evils, so we try to get at least 30-60 minutes in a week. Here’s the research, if you’re interested.

Whether your kids are practicing printing or cursive, these dry erase pockets are great. I typically rip the worksheets out of the books and have my kids use a dry erase marker to do most of their practice, which means they can erase and try the same worksheet again. We also often make our own “worksheets” - especially for our 5 year - I will write down letters, or words, or even math problems on regular paper and he uses the dry erase pockets to write his answers in dry erase marker. You do not need to buy workbooks to make this work.

There are lots of non-workbook ways to practice letter formation too — have them write their letters in shaving cream, or put sprinkles in a ziplock baggie, tape it to the table and have them trace their letters in sprinkles.

List making and letter writing are also great stealth hand writing practice.
