Handwriting is a skill that a lot of kids have trouble with. I have been looking into ways to help my kids handwriting be more legible. Here are 50+ resources for improving handwriting that I have found.

Resources for Improving Handwriting

Resources for Improving Handwriting

 First we are going to look at their pencil grip. Since I hurt my thumb a few years ago, I cannot hold a pencil correctly, so I have had to change my pencil grip to suit. Our boys have never held their pencils correctly, they think the ‘correct’ way is too hard, so this is the first thing we are going to look at.

Then we are going to practice some pencil control activities, before moving onto handwriting practice. I know our boys don’t like writing, so this is going to make them a little unhappy, but hopefully they will have better handwriting at the end.

I have also added some links to left handed writing for those who have left handers and some links for cursive writing.

I hope you enjoy this list of 50+ Resources for Improving Handwriting.

    My daughter is just learning to write so I’ll have to pin this post for when she’s a bit older. Of course, my handwriting could use some work too! lol!

      Yes, so could mine. I damaged my thumb a few years ago and now can not hold a pencil correctly which makes writing really hard.
