Our Handwriting Workbooks Are Unique
Parents love our handwriting lessons because they are meaningful! Kids love them because they are fun!
Most pages include an art or drawing activity to add an element of fun to motivate your child to improve fine motor skills. While your child learns letter formation, he or she also completes character-building copywork like poetry, grammar rules, or Bible verses.
Each handwriting workbook (Pre-Writing to Level 7) contains 100 pages and can be finished in a typical school year by completing three to four pages a week.
For Littles: First Handwriting Books
Our two-part Doodles & Pre-Writing for Littles workbooks are ideal for children ages 2½ to 5 years old.
Children focus on pre-writing strokes they will later use in print letter formation. These engaging workbooks also give children the opportunity to practice correct pencil grip. The fun exercises strengthen and develop the muscles in little hands, preparing early learners for more extensive writing in higher levels.
Optional discussion points give parents a chance to gently introduce basic math, geography, music, language arts, and science concepts. Children around the world love these little books!
Develop Good Handwriting Habits
Beginning with Handwriting Level K and continuing through Levels 1 and 2, The Good and the Beautiful Handwriting focuses on print letter formation. These workbooks are ideal for kindergarten through second grade, when children spend much of their time developing good writing habits.
Our style is closest to the Zaner-Bloser, which teaches a straight-up-and-down manuscript letter formation instead of a slanted formation. These handwriting lessons also include coloring and drawing activities to solidify the fine motor skills necessary for proper handwriting.

Expand Handwriting Techniques
Our Handwriting Level 3 workbook introduces cursive writing while continuing to refine print formation. The Good and the Beautiful teaches cursive using a unique colored dot system developed by Jenny Phillips. This allows students to complete handwriting lessons independently if desired, even while learning brand-new concepts.
Levels 4 through 7 focus on cursive writing while integrating poetry, grammar, geography, art, architecture, and nature appreciation. Copywork encourages kindness, honesty, hard work, gratitude, and integrity, while drawing activities provide each student with the opportunity to develop his or her own artistic style.

Love this!
We’ve done a few of the levels even while my daughter was in regular school. And she loved it!
We finished level 1 and have really enjoyed doing a page or two a day. My daughter loves the coloring portion that’s included as well ☺️
Excited for my kids to start the Doodles pre writing books. Love the quality of your products.
The pre-writing was great for my son! Great content!
