Handwriting Without Tears® style Capital Letters Handwriting Practice Upper case

Capital Letters SET #1 - Handwriting practice worksheets to enrich your Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum. These worksheets follow the same letter order as the HWT suggested order of learning. When practicing, it is important that each letter be formed with the same strokes and sequence as described and taught in the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum.

The simple imagery and black & white pages are consistent with the HWT style. Unlike many other HWT printables, these sheets have only the capital letters. Most other handwriting printables include the accompanied lower case letter. The HWT teacher's guide highly discourages this. The curriculum suggest starting with capital letters alone before teaching the lower case letters.

✏️ Why start with capital letters first? ✏️

When students learn to write their capital letters first, they develop a strong handwriting foundation. After learning capital letters - learning lowercase letters is very simple. C, O, S, V, W, X, Y, and Z are the same strokes for both capital and lowercase. And J, K, T, and P are very similar to their lowercase partners. If students correctly learn capitals correctly, they are already prepared for nearly half of the lowercase alphabet!

This capital letter practice set includes FOUR versions:

1. The familiar three-lined version used in most primary level curriculums
2. The traditional two-lined version as seen in the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum
3. Three lined version with NO sign language
4. Two lined version with NO sign language

This set of practice worksheets include an added phonics activity at the bottom of the page. If you're looking for practice worksheets with no imagery (handwriting practice only), please check out my other CAPITAL LETTER PRACTICE WORKSHEETS SET #2. This is a great option for older students who do not want illustrations/phonics. I also offer LOWER CASE LETTER PRACTICE WORKSHEETS. My entire line of Handwriting Without Tears® style worksheets can be found HERE.

It is important for new writers to practice everyday for a short, focused time. Daily focused practice is an important long term component of building good handwriting skills. Many times children are taught each letter once with a page of practice and then it is assumed that they know how to write properly. Continued daily practice and attention to letter formation is required to develop good handwriting. These practice sheets are designed to build your student's handwriting skills and confidence.

Considering the cost of an individual HWT workbook for each student, these printables are an excellent value. Print off as many as you need, as often as you'd like without having to purchase additional HWT student workbooks. Perfect for daily handwriting practice!

⭐️⭐️ I SEE HUNDREDS OF HANDWRITING PRODUCTS ON TPT - WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS ONE? ⭐️⭐️

Most of the products sold on TpT are created with programs such as PowerPoint® or Canva. These are great for making slide shows or quick ready to use graphics, but they are not built to create professional quality worksheets. ALL of my products are designed on Adobe InDesign - the industry standard software for layout and typesetting. It is the same software used to create worksheets, textbooks, and magazines that you would find in a bookstore. By using this program, I am able to fine tune every detail in my worksheets to ensure each letter, line, and image is exactly where it should be. This means that your students will have greater success in forming their letter strokes and formations. The lines on the paper are perfectly formatted to align with every letter. And with my extensive typesetting background, I ensured each letter is properly kerned (spaced). All of these are important factors in ensuring success for new and struggling writers. The fonts used on many other TpT handwriting products are not designed for handwriting instruction. The handwriting fonts I use in all of my practice sheets were custom designed by me - specifically to use for handwriting practice.

As a former Disney graphic designer (and typography enthusiast), I took extra care to ensure the authenticity of each HWT letter stroke formation. Many handwriting workbooks and worksheets are poorly designed, requiring students to cram their words into spaces that are too small. I designed these practice worksheets focusing on size, scale, and proportion of the lines and letters to give optimal success for your beginning writer. Each practice sheet includes handwriting guide boxes to prevent letter reversals and help students learn how to place letters and numbers. I hope you and your students enjoy these simple yet effective handwriting practice printables.
