Before young students begin learning to write by hand, it’s important to build the writing readiness skills necessary for handwriting. One of the most effective ways to prepare students for handwriting instruction is to teach them the basic strokes.
These basic strokes activities will help your students learn to write and recognize the manuscript basic strokes – an important step in early handwriting skill development!
