    Four Steps to Correct Penmanship

    The Better Letter Primer provides the free handwriting worksheets for each of the four steps.

    Step One - Writing Direction

    The first step is to teach and reinforce Left to Right Writing (L2RW.) You can use any writing paper or the blank handwriting practice worksheets on the direction page for Step One. (link above)

    Step Two - 8 Letter Groups

    The second step in the Better Letter Primer is practicing the 8 Letter Groups with the handwriting worksheets provided.

    The 26 letters are arranged in 8 groups according to the type of letter formation. For instance, the first three letters learned are "l", "t", "i". Each of these letters starts at the top and the pencil moves straight down.

    Step Three - Number Formation

    The third step is correct number formation. The different digits are divided into three groups. They are arranged according to the direction the pencil begins. Handwriting worksheets are included.

    Step Four - Review

    Review the lessons that have been taught using the Review Handwriting Practice Pages from The Better Letter Primer to review all letter and number groups.

    Preschool Handwriting

    Kindergarten students often learn letter formation and the phonic sounds together. This page gives information on kindergarten handwriting with the Better Letter Primer.

    Pencil Grips

    Correctly holding a pencil is important for correct letter formation and neat handwriting. Pencil grips can assist students to hold their pencils correctly. Our review compares pencil grips. Twelve different types of pencil grips are compared. The correct tripod grasp is also explained.
