Now that your students have been back in school for several weeks, they’re likely making good progress through the Student Edition. But what if some students need a little extra handwriting practice beyond the core materials?
Good news — there are plenty of additional handwriting resources available to help reinforce those foundational skills!
Explore Home Links for Extra Support
Looking for resources to send home? Check out the Home Links, available in the Resources section of the Interactive Digital Teaching Tool. There are printables for each group of letters! These can be a great extension tool for classroom use, but they’re also perfect for sharing with families and support staff to encourage handwriting practice at home.
These activities are designed to complement what students are learning in class and help reinforce proper letter formation in a familiar format.
Create Custom Practice with A+ Worksheet Maker
If you’re looking for more personalized handwriting practice, try the A+ Worksheet Maker, available through the Digital Tools in IDTT. There’s even a FREE Lite version available on our website.
It’s simple to use:
- Select your preferred line size to match your students’ needs/grade.
- Choose your desired worksheet template
- Customize the worksheet with your own words or sentences.
- Print and go!
These custom pages are perfect for targeting specific skills or integrating handwriting into other parts of your curriculum.
Integrate Handwriting Across the Curriculum
Why limit handwriting practice to handwriting time? You can easily incorporate it into reading, spelling, science, and social studies! For example, if your students are reading Charlotte’s Web, you can create:
- A spelling worksheet using key vocabulary from the book
- A vocabulary practice page with definitions and sample sentences
- A story organizer to help students sequence events or describe characters — all while practicing neat, legible handwriting
This kind of cross-curricular integration not only provides more opportunities to refine handwriting skills, but also reinforces content learning in an engaging and meaningful way.
