Lowercase handwriting practice Handwriting Without Tears® style phonics alphabet

Lower case practice sheets to enrich your Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum. These worksheets follow the same letter order as the HWT suggested order of learning (c, o, s, v, w, t...and so on). It is important that each letter be formed with the same formation and that the correct letter strokes follow the same order as described and taught in the HWT manual.

⭐️⭐️ This set is ideal for home or classroom use. These worksheets are very simple for both PARENTS and TEACHERS to use with their students. Just PRINT and you're ready to GO - so easy! These handwriting practice sheets are a great addition to your distance learning packets. ⭐️⭐️

The simple imagery and black & white pages are consistent with the HWT style. Unlike many other HWT printables, these sheets have only the lower case letters. Most other handwriting printables include both the upper case and the lower case letter. The Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum strongly discourages this. For some students, seeing both the upper and lower case letters on the same page can be confusing or distracting and cause further delays in their writing skills.

✏️ This lowercase letter practice set includes two versions:

1. The traditional two-lined version as seen in the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum
2. The familiar three-lined version used in most primary level curriculums

This set of handwriting practice worksheets include an added visual phonics activity at the bottom of the page. I also offer a CAPITAL LETTER companion to this resource. If you're looking for practice worksheets with no imagery (handwriting practice only), please check out my LOWER CASE LETTER PRACTICE SET 2 - this set is great for older students or students who do not wish to have distracting images on the page. 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 will 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.
