Finally, a handwriting book kids don't fight you on. Does your child groan the second a pencil comes out? Rush through worksheets? Melt down after two lines? All-Star Handwriting was built for exactly that kid. Instead of tracing "The cat sat on the mat" forty times, kids trace and write 38 weird, true sports facts they'll want to repeat to everyone at dinner:
- Golf is the only sport ever played on the moon.
- Hockey pucks are frozen before every game.
- The Stanley Cup has been used as a cereal bowl.
- There is a real marathon at the North Pole.
- Early basketball nets had no hole in the bottom.
Designed by an educator for short attention spans Every page is one small mission:
Trace it. Write it. Speed round. Done. Then a required Brain Break - swing a pretend bat, do goalie squats, stomp like a sumo wrestler - before moving on. Kids pick pages in any order, set a 5-minute timer, and stop when it beeps. Finished-for-now counts.
What's inside (50 full-color pages, 8.5" x 11") - 19 print facts + 19 cursive facts - baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, golf, and the weird stuff (cheese rolling, curling, sumo)
- Classic 3-line wide rule (blue top, dashed middle, red baseline) with correctly sized model letters on every line
- Print and cursive alphabet cheat sheets
- Pencil push-up warm-ups and a grip check
- A brain break on every single page
- Star tracker with level-up prizes (Rookie, Starter, All-Star, Hall of Fame)
- Mission logs, "circle your best letter," and a Hall of Fame certificate
- Two "make up your own weird fact" pages
Perfect for ages 6-10, grades 1-5, reluctant writers, kids with ADHD or attention challenges, homeschool families, summer practice, occupational therapy homework, and any kid who would rather be on the field than at the desk.
Written by Jennifer Kellner, M.Ed., an educator who has watched too many capable kids decide they "can't write" simply because practice was boring. This book fixes the boring part.
Get in the game. Get better at handwriting.
