Printing/Manuscript
-
This is the model that we are using for
handwriting. Called Manuscript,
this chart shows printed letter
forms. If you would like a
printing chart for use at home,
please send a note and I will gladly
send one for you.
Handwriting grades are taken
on spelling tests, English
papers, etc. The grades for
handwriting are S=Satisfactory
and NI=Needs Improvement. If
your child needs more help with
printing, try some of the
workbooks available at Wal-Mart
or Target. Make certain their
style matches ours:
Zaner-Bloser block letters. If you
need help finding something, let
me know.
Practicing printing makes
printing perfect!
