Free Kids’ Handwriting Worksheets

We’re in the thick of back-to-school season, and for kids in early grade school and older, handwriting is an important aspect of learning that might require a refresher course. The Motherhood has worked with BIC and a group of bloggers to encourage kids to participate in a fun activity, responding to a variety of questions in writing, including the prompt, “What would you do as principal for a day?”

What would your kid(s) do if they were principal for a day? Have them write out their ideas and you could WIN a $10,000 scholarship! Visit BICFightForYourWrite.com now through August 15th to enter BIC’s If I Were Principal For A Day Contest and learn about more ways to celebrate handwriting. No Purchase Necessary. U.S. only, 21+. Ends 8/15/16. Visit BICFightForYourWrite.com for Official Rules and details.

Handwriting has numerous emotional and cognitive benefits for kids – research shows that it promotes critical thinking, reading comprehension, fine motor skills development, creativity and even self-confidence. A number of the BIC campaign bloggers have developed handwriting resources over the past several weeks to help kids practice their letters, write in Spanish and more. Here are a few that you and your kids might find useful as the school year begins!
