This medium worksheet builds on pencil-grip basics by mixing fill-in-the-blank with matching. Nine sentences cover the tripod grip, the dotted middle line on lined paper, holding the paper steady with the non-writing hand, making letters slant the same way, sharpening a dull pencil, and tilting the paper to the left for right-handed writers.
A matching section then pairs four tools — eraser, pencil sharpener, lined paper, and finger spacer — with what each one does, like removing mistakes or making even gaps between words. Second graders connect handwriting rules to the actual tools on their desk so practice feels real.

Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.

3. Your non-writing hand should hold the paper steady while you write.
4. Letters in a word should all slant the same way.
5. If your pencil gets dull, you need to sharpen it.
6. Writing on the lines helps your letters stay the same height.
7. Right-handed writers tilt their paper slightly to the left.
8. When you erase a mistake, rub gently so you do not tear the paper.
9. Before writing a sentence, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
