Handwriting Names for Homeschooling or Tutoring

Video Transcript

Now we're going to practice handwriting some words. The first word I said that children should learn to write is their name, so we'll start with that. Get your handwriting paper. Remember if you don't, or if you weren't able to find the handwriting paper in the store, you can make your own very easily on the computer, print it out very lightly cause you want it light and it saves ink and that way you can have tons and tons of handwriting paper. Here is the first word, let's say the child's name is Sarah Miller. You're going to write it out first very carefully in your best adult handwriting in black solid letters, using the lines exactly how your handwriting chart shows you that you found in the store, the internet, from a friend or a teacher. Sarah Miller. Next line you're going to do dotted and so that the child can practice exactly how it should be. Again very carefully, the more correct you make it, the more correct they will learn to make it. Sarah Miller and then after you dot it, leave the rest of the lines for the child to write all on their own. So here we have, there's the dot, we have Sarah Miller. They start writing here and then the next 3, they write on their own and there they have their name written 4 times. Then you can go onto use other words as they start learning words, simple sentences. You can do the same thing. The cat (I'm going to rush this but you know you'll do it much more carefully) sits. And these are your basic handwriting worksheets.
