Catholic Handwriting Practice Sheets

They are available in both manuscript and cursive handwriting sheets and make awesome handwriting practice. Great form with great content! What is better than the Baltimore Catechism and the Catholic Bible for copywork?
Penmanship practice is time well spent. If you as teacher require perfect practice, your kids' practice will make perfect handwriting.
Truly, in all my years I've found that there are two things that improve a person's handwriting.
- One is to make each letter perfectly which usually requires enforcement.
- The other is to want to write beautifully.

2. Teach Cursive Handwriting
Do you teach cursive handwriting? I do. It's usually faster than printing and has an educated look. It can also help little ones recognize where a word stops and the next one begins, thereby helping them read their own handwriting better.
There was a time when one of my own little children asked, "How do you write so neatly?"
The answer? "I simply want to."
I showed her my notes in my planner. Um... Not so neat.
Then I showed her the Thank You note I'd written to a friend. Quiet a lightbulb moment for her - she's written nicely ever since that moment.
Here's another precious moment. One day, unable to define that he was bored and wanted to do school work like his older brothers and sisters, our son asked:
"Mom. What can I do?"
"Here, I'll print a handwriting practice sheet for you!"
He was so proud of his new project!
Using a copybook is similar to the old method of teaching while using a slate for copywork; so it's relatively a simple, yet beautiful assignment.

Confirmation Handwriting Practice Sheets And Catechism Quiz
St. Anne's Helper has a catechism copybook for First Communion preparation and another for Catholic Confirmation.
They each use the text of St. Anne's Catholic Audio Catechism so you also have good material for your child's mind to learn the Faith while practicing penmanship. See samples above and print them to share.
Each catechism copybook is fully reproducible for as many years as you like. You store it in your own computer. Think of the savings in not having to buy a new copybook every year for each new child learning the Catholic catechism.
Easy Handwriting Practice
If your children or students are in the years before receiving Confirmation, they will do well to use these Confirmation copybooks to learn the Confirmation answers. They can also brush up on their handwriting.
- With older students you can print the workbooks two-up. This makes the font smaller and they love the nicer look of their handwriting when it is small.
- As a memory exercise you can assign that they read the question once and the answer three times, before they then copy the answers once. Easy. Effective.
- The Confirmation Catechism Copybook is now available as a download of both the Manuscript and Cursive worksheets.
You now have Catholic penmanship practice sheets that can help your children have beautiful handwriting practice and a strong faith at the same time.

Penmanship Practice Worksheets
Our individual penmanship practice sheets are great review of the faith because the basic Catholic beliefs remain true through the years. No need to update in future years.
- Using a copybook is similar to the old method of teaching using copywork. Imagine the Roman students learning their Latin copywork.
- Think of the copywork that Laura Ingalls and her daughter Rose did to improve memory and to have perfect handwriting, yet this can be easier since the text to be copied is immediately above the ruled lines for writing.
- Younger students and those who are struggling appreciate this benefit and begin to gain confidence for "real" writing.
Using Catholic penmanship practice sheets makes the copybook idea one step more convenient to you.
