About the store
I'm an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience most of it working in School Systems.
I started creating Handwriting worksheets because I couldn't find what I wanted/needed for my students. I found I could teach my students to write letters but the legibility continued to be poor because the letters were all the same size with no spacing. My worksheets focus on size and spacing. Any font can be used with my worksheets.
I call my system Block Handwriting and I've had some great results over the past few years. I've been giving them to teachers in my district and the feedback is always positive.
I would love feedback so I can continue to improve my products.

IEP-DataCollection Worksheets for Shapes, Cutting and Handwriting
Collecting Data for IEP objectives and RTI can be a real pain. I have created these forms over the last few years to standardize the collection of data. Once I started to collect data in a standardized format, my data and reporting improved. My data is now easier to defend. I use an Excel Spreadsheet to record the data and create percentages for progress reports. The spreadsheet is available as a separate free download (updated to Excel 2010). I have included instructions for all of the forms.

Block Paper for Composition Books
Do you have students who can't write legibly in their composition books? Are their letters too big for the space? Do they need room at the top for drawing?
This is a problem that I encounter regularly. Composition books are great but the spaces can be to small for some students. I've seen all kinds of modifications but they take time. With this page, students can write and then glue into their book or glue then write. A bunch of pages can be prepared in advance. I use this regularly.

Additional biographical information
I started taking classes in Web Design about 5 years ago. The classes included graphic design and learning to use design software. The classes lead me to start creating worksheets and a unique approach to handwriting. I had been doing this with graph paper and highlighters for years before handwriting programs came into existence.
There is more to handwriting than individual letter formation. The size and spacing of words and letters is just as important. Learning to write on worksheets is important. When the letters are huge and run down the side of the page it is difficult to read, I have strategies for writing on worksheets. My approach addresses those aspects but can be used with any font or letter formation program.
My wish is to help students learn to write, so they can write and benefit from all the other wonderful things teachers do.
