The majority of these lesson sheets provide a model for movement training by trac-ing with the pointer finger. Please do not have children trace the models with a pencil or crayon.

Thank you for choosing this new E-book approach to reproducibles from Peterson Directed Handwriting. You can print these pages as needed from Acrobat Reader on your computer at home or in school. And, if you are lucky enough to have a color printer available, you can produce multiple copies of the chosen worksheet in color. If your printer is not color capable, the images will print in grayscale.
Please remember that our most important goal is fluency. Independent practice of the models on these pages does not include a movement challenge. We need to get the students moving to create a demand for better position and to provide regular opportunity to improve control of the fluent kind of movement children need when using handwriting as a tool.
We Write To Read, Grade Two is designed to provide step-by-step, gross-motor readiness for cursive handwrit-ing. The first step is to learn how to hold the paper and writing arm in position for control of lateral movements needed for joining letters as words are formed. We use print letterforms to begin position training so that the child wont have to learn new movement sequences at the same time we are learning how to use good writing position for the paper and writing arm. When print letters slant forward it shows that good position skills are understood and applied. Slant print is not a new alphabet. We are simply learning to make print letters using cursive postion and cursive muscles. Mastery of the position skills first, will make it much easier for the child to learn the movement sequences for cursive letters.

Curves that slant to the left may need more practice. Letters f, c, s and o all start the same way. But, notice the lowercase e. We will start with the slide so that we dont have to lift between the strokes. Pause before the Hook Around to maintain control for a nice loop. Fingertrace & Say. Then Write & Say.

Lowercase o.The other Above-Line-Joiner letters were a bit different from the o. The small trace downstroke that ended each letter actually made those letters easier than this one. Here we rock up and stop before changing direction to join. This is the only lowercase letter that breaks away from the out-back beat that helps with joining control. The o looks easy but the odd rhythm makes it as tricky as the odd top letters. Dont be surprised if you need a little extra practice. It is an important letter to master because it is used in so many words.
