Description
Do you need to provide academically relevant handwriting practice for students you are serving with push-in or pull-out programming? Do you want to help your students develop proper lowercase letter formations on 3-lined paper while you provide relevant supportive services for integrated academic IEP goals?
The Functional Handwriting Practice packet is a 53 page PDF digital download that will be available electronically immediately following payment.
These worksheet activities meet Kindergarten Common Core Standards in the areas of Reading, Language, and Writing.
The 50 No-Prep pages help students to:
• Practice lowercase formations with path of movement language before functionally using a target letter
• Given picture cues, children identify initial sounds, spell short words, and write simple sight word sentences
• Identify, label, and draw emotions
• Identify and write number words
• Generate simple sentences with previously practiced nouns
• Categorize and write labels for common objects
• Use capitalization at start of sentences and proper nouns, put spaces between words, and determine ending punctuation
• Answering ‘wh’ questions – who, what, & where

How do these Functional Handwriting Practice worksheets help children practice conventional letter formations?
Instead of the often-used single-line worksheets, all answers are supported with 3-line primary paper. Go-Dots provide intermittent cues to support children in using correct letter formations that start at the top, go in the proper direction, and use single strokes.
This type of single stroke formation is consistent with both contemporary Zaner Bloser-style and Handwriting Without Tears-style instruction.
Academic research has shown that automaticity of handwriting is critical for written communication at all ages. This resource will help children with poorly formed letters — including students who use balls and sticks — develop more efficient motor habits.
