Best books for my k students to practice their writing

I taught for 8 years in a classroom and started homeschooling my kids this year. I have always loved the handwriting without tears program and my kindergartener finished his kindergarten workbook so we moved onto this one. I love it and once he gets the hang of it, I’m going to try to make it be his independent work. It’s very helpful in creating and writing sentences. The ONE thing I wish differently is that it had a true writing road. He does get a little confused with just two long lines and no dotted lines so he’s learned to write letters on the writing road. That was a bit of a learning curve for him but other than that it’s terrific!

Love these books! They work wonderful for my daughter and she loves working through them.

“Excelente libro para apoyar la escritura en niños. Las actividades son claras, divertidas y muy prácticas. Ayuda a mejorar la letra, la creatividad y la fluidez. Ideal para uso en casa o en terapia.”

We didn't buy the Teacher's manual, I've been using this on its own with my 6 year old. We used this one after using the 'letters and Numbers for me' work book, and I've seen progress with handwriting. I enjoy these books. My son did like the other one more, but this one focuses more on the types of writing and I like that.

I’ve tried it all and this was the best way to get my 3rd grader rolling on the writing train. This pushed her to expand her horizons, and she actually wants to write now!

This is a great follow up to ‘Letters and Numbers for Me’. This book builds upon the skills learned in the first book and expands on them. In this book kids practice writing words then progress to sentences and writing (very short) stories.
