The Handwriting Fairy

After Christmas, I started to notice that my students' handwriting was increasingly getting sloppier and sloppier. I started using more fine motor activities and had students slow down but it wasn't enough. During one of my late night blog/pinterest searches I stumbled upon this great handwriting pack by Rachel from whattheteacherwants.blogspot.com 

This year I used the story Rachel wrote and the "neat treat" tags. My students loved it and they all begged for pencil grips! After the first student received a "neat treat" from the handwriting fairy, all of my other students' handwriting improved! I plan on using this pack next year a long with the other components. Check it out at her store on teachers pay teachers.
