Implementing a Districtwide Writing Continuum

TK-8 Printing, Cursive and Typing Program

The Writing Continuum Progression

Printing: TK-2

▪ Proper Grip ▪ Posture ▪ Letter Formation ▪ Printing instruction focuses on developing the basics of

letter formation in TK and Kindergarten classrooms.

▪ Printing is a foundational skill that can influence

student’s reading, writing, language use, and critical thinking.

▪ Printing has an important role in brain development

and promotes success in other academic subjects.

▪ OVSD uses Handwriting Without Tears, which provides

developmentally appropriate resources to teach letter formation.

Cursive: Grades 3

▪ Proper Grip ▪ Posture (including paper placement) ▪ Letter Formation ▪ State Standards require students to write legibly in cursive by

the end of third grade.

▪ Cursive handwriting is an essential developmental skill in that it

naturally develops sensory skills in students.

▪ Through repetition, students develop an understanding of how

much force to apply to the pencil and paper, the positioning of the pencil to paper at the correct angle, and the motor planning to form each letter fluidly from left to right.

▪ These sensory skills transfer to a multitude of everyday tasks

such as using kitchen utensils with appropriate force.

Cursive reinforcement continues in grades 4-8

Teaching Typing

Grades TK-2 Mickey’s Typing Adventure

▪ Posture ▪ Hand positioning/Home row ▪ Typing skills begins with the basics of knowing

how to sit at the keyboard, how to place fingers and hands, and how to strike each key.

▪ Once these basics are in place, keystroke

sequences using common letter combinations, words, and sentences are developed through the typing programs and independent practice.

Grades 3-5 Typing Instructor for Kids

▪ Reinforce posture, home row, hand

positioning

▪ Speed and accuracy ▪ Excellent keyboarding techniques include

correct body and finger positions, eyes on the copy, speed, and accuracy levels that increase throughout the grades.

Typing reinforcement continues in grades 6-8 and is also available for practice and reinforcement at home.
