DIRECTIONS: Type child's name - phrase - or short sentence
above. Click the "Make Worksheet" button and the program automatically creates a full sized practice worksheet. If letters do not fit on one line, try switching to LANDSCAPE mode. This basic Kindergarten handwriting style teaches "true" printing
skills. It is also the letter style most often used in early elementary
reading books, thereby increasing visual word memorization leading to improved
reading ability. Letters will print at the larger 3/4 inch size but will print smaller if you have many letters on one line. There are 6
rows of letters created in this handwriting program. The first 5 rows are traceable
letters. The 6th row gives a "starting dot" for each letter to see if
students can successfully write letters on their own. 12-15 letters
typically fit on one line when printing in the normal PORTRAIT mode. 16-22
letters can fit on one line if switching to LANDSCAPE mode. To print using
LANDSCAPE mode (widest side horizontal), make your worksheet above - then go to
the upper left of your screen and select - FILE - PRINT - PROPERTIES -
LANDSCAPE. While the general rule of
thumb is that bigger letters are easier to trace, this is not always the case
since very large letters require significantly increased movement and hand
flexibility - sometimes beyond a child's capability. If your child has
trouble with these large letters, try the smaller letters from the
index.
