These comic strip stories are a great addition to your distance learning packets. ⭐️⭐️ As a former Disney graphic designer (and typography enthusiast), I took extra care to ensure the authenticity of the letter strokes and formation. My worksheets fill in the gaps and provide ample practice for your students to grasp the muscle memory needed for proper handwriting instruction. As a graphic designer AND teacher, I've worked tirelessly to create a quality product that meets the needs of beginning writers. Many other handwriting practice pages out there do not meet the appropriate size, scale, spacing, and proportions needed for success in these areas. For new or struggling writers, the actual design of the worksheet is as important as the content. I hope you and your students enjoy these simple yet highly effective handwriting practice printables. ❄️ Looking for more winter holiday themed writing activities? ❄️ Christmas handwriting practice worksheets Christmas handwriting activities Christmas Comedy joke book Christmas sweet treats writing Christmas advent calendar activity Hanukkah handwriting practice worksheets Winter handwriting activity set Winter handwriting practice worksheets Winter word scramble New Years writing December creative writing journal December fine motor journal (preschool - kindergarten) For more fun classroom writing activities please FOLLOW my store to be the first to see my newest products, SALES, and product updates.
