Print Wacky Sentences: First and Second Grade Writing Practice Workbook: (Reproducible)

This workbook, <i>Print Wacky Sentences</i>, is designed to inspire interest in print handwriting. This workbook focuses on writing complete sentences in print. Kids enjoy printing wacky sentences like, “<b>Two rabbits slept on a fox’s head</b>,” and, “<b>Six elephants jumped over a giraffe</b>.” Exercises like these help to make learning fun, even at home.<br/><br/>Three sections of this workbook help students develop their print handwriting skills at a variety of levels:<br/><br/><ul><li>Part 1 is for beginning writers who have practiced individual letter and words, and who are ready to move onto complete sentences. Students practice handwriting motions by tracing dotted sentences.</li><li>Part 2 advances to help students begin to write on their own. In this section, students first trace a dotted sentence and then copy the sentence onto a new line. The three traditional horizontal lines are included as a guide - solid top and bottom lines plus a dashed middle line help students master the relative heights of the letters, and to write across the page in straight lines.</li><li>Part 3 gives solid sentences instead of dotted sentences. At this stage, students practice their handwriting without first tracing the letters.</li></ul>Beginners may wish to start out with a more basic book that offers practice with individual letters before advancing to complete sentences, such as the <i>Print Uppercase and Lowercase Letters, Words, and Silly Phrases</i>.<br/><br/>May your students or children improve their handwriting skills and enjoy reading and writing these wacky sentences.
