Happy summer, friends. We wanted to offer a quick and easy summer freebie for our readers. I created these printables for my preschooler who loves to spell new words. The activity is now available to download for your own little spellers!
Handwriting practice is an excellent complex motor activity and is important for brain development. Handwriting activates the brain and advances cognitive skills.
It also contributes to reading fluency because it activates visual perception of letters. Studies show that writing improves memory, and that students retain learning better when working with new ideas through handwriting instead of typing.
