This challenging worksheet pushes second graders to think about the body habits behind neat handwriting, not just letter shapes. Four multiple-choice questions cover holding the pencil with thumb, pointer, and middle finger, sitting up straight to see the paper, using the non-writing hand to hold the paper still, and fixing letters that float above the baseline.
Five fill-in-the-blank sentences add details about keeping both feet flat on the floor, sharpening a dull pencil so lines are not fuzzy, tilting the paper at a small angle, moving the whole arm, and taking breaks so hands do not get sore. Together they build the posture and tool habits that lead to readable writing.
