Working on Handwriting and Name Practice with K-1?


Learning how to form the letters in your first and last name correctly are important skills in K-1, and it needs to be practiced often.

To make this easier, I always use handwritingpractice.net.

They have pre-made sheets, but I start on the left with handwriting practice. 

Next, choose the style handwriting you prefer. 


Handwritingpractice.net allows you to choose which handwriting style works best for your students

Then, click on create custom handwriting worksheet.

The next part is where you can choose a variety of options, the font type, letter style (dots or hollow), letter size and paper layout. 

I always use the medium for 1st grade, but the large is great for last names, or Kindergarten worksheets.

It took less than 20 minutes to make 2 versions of sheets for my class today. 

I made 2 versions: one with first and last names and a last name only paper for those who want to focus on their last names.

Hopefully this will save you some time this year!
