What is it

Writing worksheets for children learning to write - lowercase letter words with box and line prompts




Teaching Objectives

  • To practice copying and writing words with lowercase letters

  • To learn to write in smaller size

  • To learn to write on the line

  • To practice writing tall vs short letters 

  • To work on sustained attention and independence to complete worksheet

  • To learn to read CVC words and sight words of common daily items and labels 



How to use

  • If a child is just beginning to write, start with the worksheets with boxes for the individual letters. 

  • Then move on to worksheets with line prompts to work on improving handwriting to stay on the line and write tall vs short letters 

  • For either reading or writing, start with easier CVC words to build them up before moving on to harder sight words or words with more letters

  • Pair what they are writing with the pictures to help them understand the meaning of the words better 

  • Increase the number of worksheets they need to complete systematically 





Teaching tips

  • Get the child to trace first to practice writing with the correct strokes, then replicate again by copying below. 

    • If child does not know the correct strokes of the letter, practice in isolation or show child how to trace, then get them to do it again 

    • Use directional verbal prompts to help them recall the strokes (e.g. for e- across and around) 



Embed more learning opportunities

  • Receptive sight words - cover the pictures and ask child to point to a word (e.g. point to cat) 

  • Spelling - cover the words and get the child to recall and spell out the word
