Handwriting Practice Using abctools

The Handwriting Templates tool, in the abctools collection, makes it easy to create customized handwriting pages. After choosing a font family and clicking on the template of your choice, you will arrive at the "Choose Handwriting Worksheet Editing" page. There are a number of opportunities to customize handwriting worksheets from this page. Step 2, however, "Customize the Text", allows you to put your own letter or words to the document.

Ideas for using Handwriting Templates and other abctools:

For younger students use the outline or dotted template options. Students can trace the letters with their pencils or fingers.
Laminate handwriting worksheets after they are printed. Students can trace with their fingers or use washable markers. Reuse the worksheets anytime.
