Handwriting Practice, Built for One Student
Handwriting is where a lot of good reading falls apart. A kid can sound out every word on the page and still dread picking up a pencil, because letter formation is muscle memory, and muscle memory only comes from doing it, correctly, a lot.
So we built handwriting worksheets into Primer. They work on the web, and on iPad your student can write directly on the page with an Apple Pencil or stylus. Same paper feel, no printer.
Every page is generated for your student
These aren’t a fixed packet. Like every Primer lesson, each worksheet is built fresh from what your student is working on right now, the letters they’re still shaky on, the words from today’s reading, sentences themed around what they love. No two students get the same page.

Letter formation: animated arrows show where each stroke starts and which way it goes, then the support fades from a solid outline to dots to a blank line.

|
Look, trace, then do it alone
Every page follows the same gradual release. The student looks at the letter with numbered arrows showing stroke order, writes inside the big outline, traces the dotted version twice, then writes it on a blank line with no help at all. Sentence pages do the same thing: read it, trace it, your turn.

|
Sentence practice: capital letters, spacing between words, and end punctuation all get rehearsed in context.

Their teacher avatar reads the directions out loud
A pre-reader shouldn’t need a parent to start. Tap Read It To Me and the teacher avatar reads the instructions. Tap Show Me A Letter and any letter animates its stroke order, with the sound it makes. Your student can get unstuck without waiting for you.
When they tap Check My Work, Primer looks at what they actually wrote and tells you what it sees: which letters are formed well, which ones reverse or drift below the line, how spacing and sizing are holding up. You get a plain-language read on their handwriting instead of guessing whether that was a b or a d.

Started the letter in the right place 21 of 21 times (100%). Starting in the right place is the correction that fixes the most other problems.
1 of 1 page has something worth a look together.

Your report after a page: what went right, which pages are worth reviewing together, and a letter-by-letter map of where they stand.
|
|
And if you still want paper, hit print. The same worksheet comes out on a real sheet.
One note: handwriting practice is in beta. It works, your student can use it today, and we’re still refining it. If something feels off, reply to this email, we read every one and beta feedback is shaping what ships next.

Tip of the day |
Short and daily beats long and weekly. Ten minutes of handwriting most days will do more than a forty-minute session on Friday. On iPad, let them use the eraser freely, the willingness to retry a letter matters more than getting it right the first time.
