These templates help children with handwriting upper and lower case letters.
Use these ‘no preparation’ worksheets to combine the teaching of letters with simple use of new technology. Most importantly, these sheets encourage children to pick up a pen and write, before they pick up a tablet. Studies show that when numbers and letters are handwritten children show greater memory retention.
