Print Handwriting for Adults and Teens - PowerPoint Presentation and Worksheets

(1)
Do your students want to improve their print handwriting? This resource has been created for adults and teens that want their writing to improve to make it clearer and easy to read. This is an essential life skill and will serve them well in the workplace. The Packet contains a PowerPoint interactive presentation with accompanying worksheets for practice contained in an e-book. You can print off the e-book or print off individual practice sheets from the e-book. Topics: What is good handwriting? Vocabulary associated with handwriting Warmup for Writing Letter formation Letter groups Pangrams Form filling Signatures Tips for improving handwriting I often hear people say that they hate their handwriting, or that no one can read it. It is such an important part of communication. Even with email and the internet being a big part of written communication you cannot replace the benefit of a hand written note or message on a card. Not to mention that many workplace forms still need to be filled out manually and it is so important that the writing is clear. I have used this in my workplace training sessions and learners have enjoyed it and noticed improvements within 10 days of practice. I wanted to get away from all the babyish resources that are just not appropriate to teach adults with. I hope you enjoy this.
