I went through the same thing with my 7-year-old son, Mason.<BR/> <BR/>He has to write Denelian style (which I had never heard of until two years ago!!) and I found a website that I could put in my own sentences for him to practice with like, "I like football," "Baseball if fun," etc. I printed them out and it really seemed to help and his penmanship has improved greatly. But its still a work in progress :)<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470761910343689344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-71587372865323972422008-01-11T14:05:00.000-06:002008-01-11T14:05:00.000-06:00I did compile a list of my favorite websites I use...I did compile a list of my favorite websites I used to use when I was lesson planning for my job at the daycare. They're on my site if anyone wants to check them out. Hope they are helpful!

The kids could use dry erase markers and practice their letters and just erase it when they were done. They LOVED it! If you think you might like this idea, check out http://www.abcteach.com/ and click on handwriting. This website might also be good for your homeschooling friends. I think I did have to pay $35.00 for a membership when I was teaching but there are some free things on there too. Sometime when I have a chance, I'll post all my preschool webpage resources on my blog and share with you.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332112931728812146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-16277674529303607482008-01-10T22:45:00.000-06:002008-01-10T22:45:00.000-06:00You could have her write fun things like:Hanna Mon...You could have her write fun things like:<BR/><BR/>Hanna Montana<BR/>Barbie<BR/>Princess<BR/><BR/>instead of her name...just for practice.<BR/><BR/>If that is not fun...you could really get creative and make a riddle like they do in those workbooks.<BR/><BR/>For example you could write a silly sentence using nursery rhymes and her favorite characters that would make her laugh after she reads what she wrote. I dunno something like: Barbie ran away with the dish and the spoon. Or Hanna Montana's wicked step mother took her guitar. <BR/><BR/>I'm stupid, I know but that kind of stuff works on Logan. He loves it. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise find something like a Homeschool Handwriting workbook (I'm sure Amos could hook you up) and have her do a page a day and give her a reward for it...like 5 M&M's if she completes it. <BR/><BR/>Hope that helps some...Logziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498806038376593403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-19006384689095438172008-01-10T22:15:00.000-06:002008-01-10T22:15:00.000-06:00That is too funny!

I got this placemat thing from Target back when school started that has upper and lower case letters. He writes them and then can erase them. It was worth the buck. If you can find one of those that might help her practice. Or just make one up too?Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180764196840856181noreply@blogger.com
