Handwriting house

I teach my students each year about the "Handwriting House". All of the letters have a special place in the house. I teach them this little poem: Then, I print the cards on cardstock and send them home as bookmarks! They even like to teach their parents a thing or two about handwriting. Perhaps I should share this with my husband? No, we are not learning our ABC's in 1st grade, but we ARE learning how to properly form our letters. I am very strict with my students with handwriting starting…

Instruction: Providing students with a visual aid for writing their letters is beneficial. The handwriting house helps students to use appropriate spacing and dimensions when writing their letters. For some student, it is simply a cue word or reminder. Others however, benefit from writing on pages like this image where the house is visible on each line. This can also be adapted so that there is only a single house at the top of the page.

They then typically move on to the paper with a top and bottom line and a dotted line in the middle. This helps students learn where to start
