Handwriting and Sight Word Practice

As I’m sure many of you know, I absolutely LOVE fun fonts. So much so that I decided to make my own last year to share with the teaching community. But, before I became a digital font designer, I used to LOVE to doodle and play around with handwriting ALL. THE. TIME. In fact, handwriting was one of my favorite subjects in elementary school. The day we started learning cursive might as well have been a holiday in second grade.

Sadly, handwriting is rarely considered a subject these days as penmanship simply cannot compete with content-driven instruction and digital writing pieces. Instead, students must passively pick up handwriting – often with incorrect formation, strokes, and writing utensil grip. Sigh. But there is SUCH good research for the many benefits of handwriting instruction that we shouldn’t just write it off (pun completely intended). If you need more convincing, read HERE or HERE or HERE!

So what can you do? How can you easily incorporate handwriting into your school day when every single stinkin’ second is already spent?  My suggestion would be to combine it with something else you’re already teaching or incorporating into you school day. Like, for instance, sight words!

Sometimes handwriting can fall by the wayside when you're struggling to cram in all the content you possibly can as a teacher. This resource combines handwriting AND sight word practice so that you can get the most bang for your educational buck! Each word includes a practice sheet, sight word card, and twenty fun activities for practicing handwriting and sight words all at the same time! It's great for practicing specific Dolch word lists, along with manuscript handwriting practice. It's perfect for literacy centers, intervention, and small groups in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade!

Sight words are often a focus during guided reading, literacy centers, and intervention. This can give the teacher an opportunity to explicitly teach the word, along with proper letter formation and pencil grip.
