When your students complete daily copywork, it greatly improves their muscle memory. The physical act of writing stimulates muscle memory and helps the student transfer letter formation and spelling to long-term memory. When they are doing copywork, it not only improves their handwriting, it also improves their spelling, punctuation, and reading skills. These Today in History cursive practice sheets not only tick all these boxes, but also adds an element of fun while learning about historical events.

These practice worksheets are designed with D'Nealian AND Handwriting Without Tears® style strokes and lettering. It is important to keep it consistent with your existing cursive curriculum. Each day, your students will read, trace, and write a fun historical event that happened on that day. All the days of the month are included - even weekends and non school days!

I'm a former Disney graphic designer (and typography enthusiast), and I've ensured that all of my handwriting practice worksheets meet the appropriate design standards for new cursive students to create proper and successful letter stroke formations. As a graphic designer AND teacher, I've collaborated with an occupational therapist to create a QUALITY and EFFECTIVE handwriting product that meets the needs of young students and cursive writers. Many other handwriting pages out there do not meet the appropriate size, scale, spacing, and proportions needed for success in these areas. For new cursive writers, the actual design of the worksheet is as important as the content.
