These links come from a blog called Baraka Education (with permission) There may be some duplication of links that I have already entered on this blog, but many are new. I'm really indepted to Barakaedu. This must have taken days of research. She has only just begun her blog, but keep an eye on her. I'm sure there'll be more valuable information. By the way, she has a recipe section. There's only one there at the moment but I've tried it and it's delicious.
Prewriting Worksheets to help develop pencil control:
Donna Young Printing Readiness
Kidzone Pre-Printing Skills Practice
Preschool Learners Pre-Writing Worksheets
SEN Teacher Pre-writing Set 1 and Set 2
Free Handwriting Fonts.
If you're intending to send your child on to school, please find out which handwriting font that school uses and teach that one to your child. Otherwise there'll be a lot of confusion when school begins. If you're homeschooling, you can choose whichever appeals to you.

Why am I Writing this Blog?
I am very concerned about the growing level of illiteracy among our children. This blog is for parents who are homeschooling, parents whose children are falling behind at school and they don't know how to help them, teachers who would like to bounce ideas off an experienced teacher or get ideas to help student with problems. I will do everything in my power to help anyone in the areas of reading and writing.
In this blog I'll be using the original English spelling forms, so please make allowances if you're American or have been taught the American spelling form.
Please be understanding about the advertisements on the blog. It gives me the opportunity to earn a little to add to my pension.
