Primer Handwriting Worksheets: What’s Included

This set of primer handwriting worksheets includes 104 printable pages based on the Dolch Primer sight word list.

Each word is practiced on 2 separate pages, giving your child repeated handwriting practice in a simple, consistent format.

Every worksheet includes:

• one Primer Dolch sight word
• a short sentence using that word
• handwriting lines for copying the sentence
• a small black-and-white illustration that matches the sentence

The sentences are intentionally short and manageable, making them a good fit for children who are ready for more practice than the Pre-Primer level but still need simple, readable sentence work.

Sample Sentences from the Worksheets

You’ll find 2 different pages for each Primer word. There is enough writing space for your child to write the sentence twice if he has enough writing stamina.

Sentences for the Sight Word black

For example, the 2 sentences for the word black include:

• I see a black pencil.
• Did you pet the black cat?

Sentences for the Sight Word do

• I do not like to camp in a tent.
• Do you hear the drum?

Ways to Use These Worksheets in Your Homeschool

These worksheets are easy to use across a range of early elementary stages. Here are some ideas to use these primer handwriting worksheets in your homeschool:

• daily handwriting practice
• morning work – in your child’s Morning Binder or workbox
• independent practice
• simple sentence reading
• capitalization and punctuation review
• extra sight word reinforcement

For younger learners, you can read the sentence aloud together and have your child copy one word or part of the sentence.

For older learners, you can use the full sentence for handwriting practice and then talk through nouns, verbs, punctuation, or sentence structure.

Because the format stays the same from page to page, your child can focus on the words and writing without having to learn something new each time.
