Tired of grumbling or tears during handwriting practice? Save your prep time with these no-prep animals as pets themed slides, created for my occupational therapy students to improve visual perceptual skills, handwriting, and keyboarding. Each prompt includes picture support, a word bank, and models for differentiation, making writing more accessible for all learners.

Students start by using their visual skills to guess what is hiding behind the image—they get two chances to guess before the full picture is revealed. Then, they use the picture and word bank as a sentence or creative writing prompt. Designed to support baseline adherence, letter formation, and spacing, this large-format PDF slideshow in full color is perfect for small groups, full classroom activities, and occupational therapy sessions. Help reluctant writers gain confidence while practicing essential skills—without the frustration!
