Find Early Learning Success with our Handwriting Workbooks and Handwriting Worksheets

 

Handwriting is a crucial skill for kids to develop as they move through their early school years. They’ll begin with learning individual letters in preschool and quickly progress to writing full sentences by Year 2.


Despite the growing role of technology in all areas of life, handwriting remains an important skill, and contributes to overall reading and writing fluency. Experts warn that switching to a keyboard too early can harm a child’s reading and writing progress, and research shows that fluency and speed of handwriting are actually correlated with fluency and speed in typing. 


Using the handwriting worksheets in our I Can Be a Butterfly and Gargantuan Year 1 English workbooks to improve handwriting will help keep your kids' reading and writing fluency on track. Kids will get plenty of practice with these handwriting workbooks, while reinforcing their knowledge of the alphabet and enjoying hilarious illustrations and storytelling. 


I Can Be a Butterfly, an engaging storybook which includes handwriting practice sheets, is available as a hard-copy handwriting practice book, or as a set of printable handwriting worksheets (handwriting worksheets pdfs) you can print at home. Our Gargantuan Year 1 English Workbook, meanwhile, covers a full year of English, including ABC and handwriting practice.


Handwriting helps to strengthen kids’ knowledge of letters. Reading handwritten texts forces kids’ brains to learn that different variations of a letter still mean the same thing. The more handwritten texts they read, the faster they become at recognising them in print. Our handwriting worksheets were created with this research in mind.


Kids (and adults!) are also more likely to retain new information by writing it down. Research shows that kids with better handwriting exhibit greater neural activation in brain regions associated with working memory and increased activation in the regions associated with reading and writing. There is a significant correlation between the quality of handwriting and overall academic achievement in reading and writing. A little practice using improve-handwriting worksheets goes a long way to helping even the messiest writers start to build consistency and confidence in shaping their words. 


Our printable handwriting worksheets and workbooks are packed full of engaging, funny illustrations and activities that delight and entertain kids of all abilities, while boosting kids’ writing success in school. We work with teachers and childhood literacy experts to make sure our workbooks and worksheets are research-backed and aligned with the curriculum, but also fun and easy-to-use.
