Home educators are responsible for teaching young learners penmanship. It can be a challenging task to teach proper letter formation to students. However, using handwriting worksheets can make the job easier. There are many free printable worksheets available online. Better yet, you can use a free handwriting worksheet generator. This way you decide what letters and words your child will practice writing.

Easy to Use
With handwriting generators you simply type in what you want your child to trace. Then the generator produces a customized worksheet where the letters are printed in a dotted form.

Below are several handwriting generators that you can utilize in your homeschool.

Handwriting Practice Worksheet Generator
This free handwriting generator is made available by SoftSchools.com. You do not get to choose what type of print is used. And there is no cursive option. However, you have the choice of either making the letters solid or dotted. Also, the pages are generated in PDF format. So, you can print the page out immediately or save it to your computer for later use.

ESL Writing Wizard
You have a lot of versatility with this worksheet generator. There are several writing styles, line patterns, and letter sizes to choose from. There is a cursive option; but, the letters will not be connected. There are also some helpful instructions on the homepage on how to make a paragraph style worksheet.

Custom Tracer Pages
What makes this generator from Kid Zone so useful is that choosing the cursive font will produce letters that are actually connected. None of the other sites mentioned have this capability.

Amazing Incredible Handwriting Worksheet Maker
With this generator you have the choice of either basic print or D'Nealian. You can also print out disconnected cursive letters. Overall this site has limited functionality. However, there is one feature that can come in handy for a brand new writer. It is the starting dot that is generated on each letter on the worksheet.

Customize Your Child's Learning
Between the four sites listed above, you will have many options to produce that type of handwriting worksheets that you want to use in your homeschool . You can start beginning writers out with the Amazing Incredible Handwriting Worksheet Maker. This way the child will have a starter dot to know where to begin writing the letter. Children who don't need that reminder will benefit from the ESL or the Soft School generators. And once your child is ready to delve into cursive, you can switch to the custom pages on Kid Zone's site.
