When you teach students handwriting while teaching phonics, students will build muscle memory kinesthetically. HANDWRITING LESSONS IS NOT JUST ONE MORE THING! Brain research supports the need for explicit handwriting and path of motion instruction and links proper handwriting to better student writing results! Quick, concise, easy to implement! My kind of handwriting instruction. You can use your own fonts and make your own charts.Handwriting practice and instruction is here! Fluently being able to write letters leads to great gains in reading. First practice lower case, then upper case, and then the paired letters on the next chart. To do Copywork, children need to know both the upper and lower case forms of each letter. Copying memory verses is an excellent way to learn the scripture verse. They enjoy recognizing excerpts from their read alouds, or quotations from their core readers. One enjoys gel pens that flow smoothly, while the other prefers a light, very thin blue line and favors a specific brand ball point pen.

It is quite acceptable in homeschool, and with a little more practice, it will ease the transition. My kids try very hard not to make mistakes, but if there is too much stress over mistakes, I recommend they continue with pencil work. I recommend that children only use pens once they very seldom make mistakes as they all hate using Tipex. My middle child presses harder and so she works best with normal HB pencil leads. My youngest child uses a very light hand pressure and so she needs to work with a soft 2B pencil lead. These pencils usually have lovely soft plastic grips and their points never become dull and blunt, causing fat, smudgy writing. I have found the best results when my children use mechanical pencils. The children first used pencil for all written work, but after their confidence grew, they received their “ pen licence“.
All dictationwork is an opportunity to practice handwriting skills. She uses famous quotes from the history time period we are studying, or she writes the Bible memory verses for that week. She now practices her cursive handwriting daily on copywork pages I have made. My 9-year-old has already learnt her print and has recently mastered her cursive chart. They prop the chart up in a paper holder, which is very helpful in saving space on the table while we all work.) Later, when they practice handwriting, they use the chart for reference while they are copying. When my children start learning their letter formation, they trace over the letter with a whiteboard marker.
