Get your Pen License certificate! Pen License and Handwriting Rockstars

Learning how to write is an important step in primary school. Parents can easily work with their children at home to try to teach handwriting skills too, of course. Most children learn how to write their name before anything else. If you’re looking for a new way to encourage handwriting skills in your child, then we have a great way to encourage this skill. Our pen license certificate and handwriting rockstar printables will help encourage your child to master penmanship. These are also a fabulous resource for teachers as well. 😀

Why handwriting is still important for kids

In a world where technology seems to rule all, many parents wonder if a child still needs to learn handwriting skills. Truth be told, handwriting is still important for kids and here’s why:

• Most of the homework assignments in classrooms are done by hand, not a computer,
• Kids remember information better when they write down important notes and facts from their day of learning,
• Handwriting is still used on a regular basis with writing checks, signing documents and even writing letters,
• Technology may be advanced, but there is still and will always be a need for handwriting skills. When a child learns how to write, they’re able to earn their pen license. This pen license certificate states that your child has graduated from using a pencil that is easy to erase and now onto a pen. When a child moves on to being able to use a pen it means they’ve mastered handwriting skills in a way that allows them to make fewer mistakes,
• Handwriting will help a child better understand the shapes and connection of letters to words.

When a child is taught good handwriting skills they’re able to master the art of writing stories, telling tales and sharing their thoughts in a legible way. If you’re working on ways to encourage your child to use their best penmanship, then the pen license certificate will do wonders to encourage your child to thrive for the best penmanship possible.
