Welcome To Your

Handwriting Practice Pack

As adults, sometimes we forget that kids need to learn how to make letters! It’s really import-
ant for students to learn the basic strokes for both cursive and print (we call it manuscript).
Here are some resources for instruction and practice for print and cursive writing.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Start with the strokes—just 4 to write clearly!
• Use the Basic Strokes pages to work on the fundamentals.
• Letter and Number Formations provide steps for each letter.
• Online Tutorials! Download and print the Digital Tutor Cards. Each has a QR code that
links to a FREE animated model showing how to form the letter.
Read the directions for use in the letter on the next page.
*Use a Wi-Fi connection to access your demos.* (Avoid using your cellular data.)
Move on to practice.
• Practice Pages feature fun ways to write letters.
You can use these resources help to enrich your student(s)’ off-site learning experience. We
understand this is a really hard time, but hope we’ve provided something worthwhile!
Sincerely,
Zaner-Bloser

P.S. Did you notice the links in the e-mail to our Manuscript Paper and Cursive Paper Tem-
plates? Grade-level-specific pages include writing lines so students can learn where to begin
and end letters. Download and print the pages for additional practice and write-your-own
story opportunities.

All resources are from Zaner-Bloser Handwriting.
