What kids practice
These sheets build the hand skills underneath neat writing: controlling the pencil, starting letters in the right place, sizing letters on the lines, and copying without losing your place. They help many children, with or without a writing difficulty. They are not a test and not a diagnosis. If writing is very slow, painful or hard to read, ask your child's doctor or school about an occupational therapy evaluation. Only a qualified professional can diagnose dysgraphia.
Watch for
- Erasing over and over. Cross it out once and keep going.
- Copying from far away, like a board across the room. Copying from right above is easier and builds the skill.
- Pushing so hard the pencil tip breaks. A softer pencil and a hand shake-out break help.
- Waiting too long to ask for help. If writing stays very hard all year, an occupational therapist can help a lot.
It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full handwriting helpers (dysgraphia-friendly) guide for 1st grade.
