Now we're going to practice handwriting some words. The first word, as I said that children
should learn to write is their name so we'll start with that. Get your handwriting paper,
remember, if you aren't able to find the handwriting paper in the store, you can make your own
very easily on the computer, print it out very lightly because you want it light and
it saves ink and that way you can have tons and tons of handwriting paper. Here is the
first word, let's say the child's name is Sarah Miller. You're going to write it out
first very carefully in your best adult handwriting in black, solid letters, using the lines exactly
how your handwriting chart shows you, that you found in the store or the internet or
from a friend or a teacher. Sarah Miller. Next line you're going to do dotted so that
the child can practice exactly how it should be, again, very carefully, the more correct
you make it, the more correct they will learn to make it. Sarah Miller, and then after you
dot it, leave the rest of the lines for the child to write all on their own. And so here
we have Sarah Miller, they start writing here and then the next three, they write on their
own and there they have their name written four times and then you can go on to use other
words, as they start learning words, simple sentences, you can do the same thing. The
cat, I'm going to rush this but you'll do it much more carefully, sits period. And these
are your basic handwriting worksheets.
