Common sense practice worksheets are the order of the day at A-Z Worksheets!

We find that when a student copies his work in a logical manner and says the sounds out loud he has an easy time gaining writing skills.

Say it! Write it! Repeat It!

Why?

Mr. John Gatto, New York City and New York State Teacher of the Year, once said that old timers had their students work through one hard book. Guess what? Ever after that the student could read anything! Mastery learning has its merits especially with math, typing and music; yet once a student has the phonics basics there is no boundary necessary in teaching reading. Writing skills are the same in many ways. We’ve seen this sort of success in many students, especially if the writing corresponds with the reading! Think of how often we ourselves take notes in order to learn or remember a new thought.

Teaching writing to young students is much easier when there is an example of the words before the student with the correct spelling and a correct formation. Teaching writing also requires some knowledge of punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. All of these come together at A-Z Worksheets!

Writing worksheets are fun when they are taught in a logical order and offer easy initial success. A-Z Worksheets starts with tracing good writing on preschool worksheets and progresses through copying good cursive writing on elementary worksheets on phonics and Spelling worksheets and Grammar worksheets where you can teach sentence construction with I am, you are, he is, we are, you are, and they are, etc.

As cursive writing is introduced, A-Z Worksheets offers worksheets for kids that offer cursive handwriting practice and Vocabulary worksheets. They progress to cover creative writing ideas. A-Z Worksheets maintains that the language arts are intertwined in such a way as to be best taught together after the basic language building blocks wherever possible.
