Do you have a struggling handwriter?
Or are you looking for free or frugal resources to teach handwriting to your kids?
Below are my easy-to-use articles on handwriting, full of fun activities to help your child with handwriting.
These activities can be a real help for your struggling handwriter, too. Each of these activities can give them a break from their regular handwriting workbook, while building foundational skills for handwriting.

What about handwriting for high school age/ adults? I don't enjoy offending my kids, but I feel I'm constantly trying to reinforce handwriting with them...
ReplyDeleteGood question. Some of the ideas for activities to enhance a mature grasp can work with teens. Also, the clay activities are complex and may be of interest also. Otherwise, I would use their own words to create copywork. Let us know what works for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas because handwriting is so important to teach the kids about for their education.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wanda!
DeleteHandwriting ... so important to learn!
