Printing Skill Links

Since I am an Occupational Therapist in the school setting, I'm always looking for nice sites to help my students with their writing. Here are some helpful resources I've found.

This is an ongoing work in progress, feel free to contribute

How to form letters Resources:

Literacy center network : Very good animation shows beginning printers how to correctly form all the upper case and lower case letters using standard lined paper in the proper sequence. It will also show prewriters how to correctly sequence simple shape drawings.
Handwriting for Kids: Animations to help form letters including cursive. Also various printables for practice worksheets.

First-School : Many excellent printable worksheets free to download to practice letter formations. Also blank writing paper of various styles.
Enchanted Learning: You name it, you can print it from this site free! Tons of printables.
Tampa Reads: Some good printable letter activities for Lower Case letters. Lots of following directions as well.
TLS Books: Nice fine motor and writing printables categorized by grade level and subject area as well.
Incompetech: PDF paper generator to create custom graph and writing paper. Cool!
