A Reason for Handwriting has been a mainstay over the majority of our homeschooling years. We have tried two other handwriting resources but have always come back to this one. Why? Pictured above are the levels we’ve enjoyed this year: K, 2nd grade and 6th grade. Why We Love A Reason for Handwriting One workbook – all in one spot. Dear fellow homeschool mom –
Handwriting by George – Review
My son loves to study history, especially early American history, but he does NOT like to practice handwriting. The physical act of handwriting is challenging for my son because he has dysgraphia.

I don’t recall how I happened upon this site, but I’m glad I did. Activity Village is a huge site devoted to crafts and activities for children.
