Print-Your-Own Handwriting Workbooks

Have you ever noticed that most students need more practice than the handwriting workbook page affords? Are your students trying to use workbooks without being able to write in them? Are you making copies of workbook pages because the children have difficulty writing in the bound workbook? Are you making copies of workbook pages because you have only one copy of the book? Does your budget prevent you from purchasing a handwriting workbook for each child? Are handwriting lessons delayed or skipped because teachers must create practice materials for the children to use?

Welcome To A New And Better Concept

Peterson has changed the rules of engagement to your advantage. We created electronic workbooks so you can print the pages as needed, and as often as needed, right from your computer using the free Acrobat Reader program. You simply purchase one book (with a license to print) and use it as often as needed to teach and provide practice. Like the Peterson movement-based method, the concept is unique. Revolutionary is probably a much better word. The costly handwriting practice workbook is now obsolete.

The links below will open a review version for examination. Please page through each workbook to assess all of the pages. Look closely. These pages offer some new, research-based features that are not available from other sources, particularly the advanced cursive level. You will not, of course, be able to print pages from the review versions. We do need sales to stay in business. However, this concept is intended to make good handwriting instruction extremely affordable.

An parent or teacher can purchase a copy with an individual license for $19.95. A building license allows all teachers to use the book as needed. You may provide each teacher with a copy of the file or make it available on your server. A building license costs $29.95. Yes, that means that handwriting workbooks for your classrooms will cost less than $30 per level. There is a cost to print the pages, of course. But, it is probably true that you have been paying that cost every year since the copier was invented. Incidentally, the license fee is a one-time charge. You won't have to pay again next year. However, we are planning to offer improved versions and hope you will take advantage of the miniscule cost to keep teachers current as the technology improves.

Take Advantage Of Your Investment In Technology

Can you project your computer screen? Teach handwriting on a Smart Board. Write on the page image as you lead the children through the lesson. It just got a lot easier to plan and teach handwriting lessons. Do you have a digital tablet? We will soon offer you software that will allow your student to open the PDF Lesson book, and use the tablet to practice the handwriting lesson. Watch for the launch of "PDF by Hand." It will be available for purchase before the end of Mach 2010.
