Handwriting Practice for Gritty Kids: Letter and Number Tracing, Coloring, Mazes, Dot to Dot, Matching, and More! (Dexterity and Penmanship for Preschool, Pre-K, & Kindergarten Kids Ages 3, 4, 5, 6.) Paperback – October 3, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
A comprehensive and fun penmanship book offering much more than letter and number tracing. Includes coloring, mazes, dot-to-dot, matching, and other fine motor skill development activities too.
Handwriting Practice for Gritty Kids provides the strong foundation necessary to capably write numbers and letters. Because kids learn the most when they are having fun, this book goes beyond letter tracing by providing 248 fun activities to supplement the development of fine motor skills and keep children engaged, which further strengthens hand muscles essential for handwriting proficiency. In total, the book includes:
• Letter tracing A-Z and a-z
• Number tracing 0-9
• 62 pathway activities
• 52 matching activities
• 36 animal coloring opportunities
• 36 seek and finds
• 36 mazes
• 26 dot-to-dot
Your child will learn to hold a pencil properly with your help by using the ‘alligator trick’ guidance. Each character will be written 48 times with stepped-down instructions, initially following ordered line tracing and progressing to free form. To offer encouragement and persistence, every letter page contains an affirming expression that you can read to your child.
Supplemental activities are designed to improve dexterity by keeping a pencil in hand through increased involvement by a variety of offerings. Pencil control will improve as children play games while practicing strokes such as lines, circles, and curves. In addition, these activities reinforce counting concepts, build logical reasoning, strengthen spatial awareness, provide exposure to animals, and show various ways the same letter can be displayed to give kids a head start when learning to read.
Give your child confidence as they step into the world of writing with an included certificate of achievement that can be presented upon completion.

Provide all the pre-writing activities needed to be a successful writer...
GUIDANCE
By the time children are three, most can hold a crayon and scribble. As a part of your child’s progression, you can use the five-step alligator trick to help achieve proper grip.
ENCOURAGEMENT
New challenges can sometimes lead to frustration, tears, and the desire to quit. To help foster grit, growth, and perseverance in children you’ll encounter a message at every letter to inspire, motivate, and encourage.
TRACING PRACTICE
Trace all letters A-Z, a-z, and numbers 0-9. A dot marks the starting pencil location for each character and guidance is provided on the number and order of strokes. Each successive row offers fewer instruction to grow self-reliance, with the final row being free form. In total, each character is written 48 times with repetition designed to develop proficiency and muscle memory.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022There isn’t a lot of difference between most handwriting workbooks that I’ve seen and that’s why I like this. You get all the letter and number tracing like every other book but it also has TONS of other activities like a dot-to-dot animal for every letter. My kids took to doing the mazes right away, so that was a great way to draw them in. I also like that it comes with a certificate of completion for added motivation.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024Sometimes getting my kiddo to do work can be a task, but she loves this notebook
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2023My daughter didn't want to trace letters, but it helps that this has games and mazes, and coloring too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024GREAT idea - execution needs improvement. The games are printed too close to the gutter making them difficult for my 4.5 YO to complete without struggling to keep the book open. He also likes pages ripped out - which is nearly impossible to do with this book without ruining the page. At this price point there should be perforated pages.
