SCHOOL-RITE Handwriting Instruction Guides are a series of learning aids designed for beginning handwriting development. Recommended by leading educators, they fascinate children as young as three years old and make the introduction of writing an exciting experience. Children learn proper penmanship of Manuscript, Transitional (D’Nealian-style) and Cursive letters. The left-to-right sequence builds perceptual skills for reading readiness, further enhancing literacy development. School-Rite Activity Templates are designed to teach Shapes, Numbers and other early learning skills.
Molded of fine quality pliable plastic, these Guides give practice in forming the contour of each letter so the learner “feels” the shape of the letter. They assist with coordinating hand and eye movement, allowing for proper pencil slant, and forcing the hand to lift where normal lift occurs in the handwriting sequence. Suitable for children of all ages, they are especially helpful for Early Childhood Education, Special Needs, Left-handed Learners and Home Instruction.

School-Rite Handwriting Instruction Guides feature 1” letters on an 8½ x 11” template. They include sample letters for identification, numbered stroke sequence and arrows showing proper stroke direction. Ruled lines illustrate correct letter proportion, spacing and placement. A sample word is included, showing how letters can be combined to make words.
Manuscript templates are appropriate for children ages 4 to 7 years old. Transitional templates assist children in moving from manuscript to cursive handwriting. The recommended age level for our Transitional Handwriting Guide is 4 to 9 years. Cursive templates are designed for advanced handwriting instruction, generally ages 6 to 11. The Cursive Instruction Guides add stroke lead-ins and scroll features to the changed shape of the letter.

A variety of templates are offered to teach basic learning skills. They are especially beneficial to learners who rely on the kinesthetic, or tactile, approach to learning. Activity templates include sample shapes for recognition and identification, and give directions for stroke movement. When finished, students can remove the template and re-trace to develop fine motor skills. Adding color to the completed pictures further develops fine motor skills. Suggested activities are included with each template.
