I plan on continuing to use HWOT as our main handwriting to guide the boys in using correct letter formation & such, but I also wanted to reinforce their reading lessons with handwriting practice as well. I used handwritingworksheets.com to create pages that contained words & sentences from their I Can Read It! books. I tried to keep some kind of flow to my pages, make them increasingly difficult day-to-day, but they do vary slightly each week. I’ve only made the first 4 weeks of sheets, but here is the flow I have going so far:
*Trevor is only 4 & is still needing wider lines than Tucker. I used size 3 for Tucker which has 4 lines & size 4 for Trevor (3 lines), but occasionally I printed both using size 3 (to help easy Trevor into a narrower writing line).
Week 1: Phonics Focus: short a/ –at ending
Day 1: Capital & lower case letter review, new word(s), short sentence
Day 2: New word(s), slightly longer sentence (1 line tracing, 1 line on their own)
Day 3: Long sentence (1 line tracing, 1 line on their own)
Day 4: Word reviews (tracing, then on their own, or write a sentence using a few of the words they traced)
Week 3: Focus is still on short a, but with different consonant endings
Day 1: New/Review words, short sentence
Day 2: Long sentence
Day 3: Long sentence & short sentence
Day 4: Long sentence
Here are samples of the pages I made:
