Teach your students correct letter and number formation as well as improve penmanship with the Better Letter Primer. Follow the simple Four Steps:

• Left to Right Writing Orientation is reinforced in Step One.

• Number Formation is mastered in Step Three.
• Letters and Numbers are reviewed in Step Four below.

Step Four - Review Number and Letter Groups

Handwriting Practice Pages For Numbers and Letters

Special handwriting practice sheets have been designed to review the eight letter groups and three number groups.

Simple Review

In each review lesson, the student can form each letter in each group one time. They will write the 26 letters and all the digits in one sitting.

Focused Review

If a student is having problems with one letter or digit, a focused review of that group can be done.

For a focused review, have the student write each letter (or digit) in that group 3 times. Even if the student is having difficulty with only one of the letters, still have them write all of the letters in the group. This helps to teach and reinforce the direction of the letter.

Continuous Review

You may want to have your student review the handwriting practice review sheets one time a week until they master the correct letter formation.
