Handwriting lessons solved!

Use these handwriting worksheets to enable your students to practise the correct formation of each letter.

Available in Australian state fonts, these worksheets focus on forming both the upper and lower case letter and then use the focus letter in a word. The students will also be able to practise patterning skills at the top of each page.

You may also like to laminate a copy of each page and put them out at the independent writing table with a fine tipped whiteboard marker. This will allow many students to practise their handwriting, while conserving paper and the environment!

Tracing and copying letters is a purposeful fine motor task that fosters control and coordination. Holding a pencil engages the small muscles in the hand, fingers, and wrist which strengthens the muscles required for tasks like writing, drawing, cutting, and manipulating objects. Copying each letter provides the opportunity for students to develop their hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness as they consider the size, shape and position of letters as they place them on the line.
