Free Printable Handwriting Wall Chart

Did you know that some schools no longer teach children cursive handwriting?   I recently read this and was shocked!  After thinking about it, I guess it’s to be expected.  In this age of technology, there seems to be less need for handwriting, especially cursive handwriting. 

This makes me a little sad because I don’t think an email  or text message is a good substitute for a handwritten note or letter.    If I had children in school now and they weren’t learning to write cursive, I think I would teach them this art myself.  First, if you don’t know how to write it, then how do you read it?  I can’t imagine not being able to read the handwritten letters left to me from my mom or not being able to read a historical document at a museum.

Do you remember practicing each of those letters in school?  And,  then working to personalize your own handwriting style, especially your signature!    Those memories came flooding back as I worked to create my own handwriting wall chart for you!

Handwriting Wall Chart

I like the vintage look of this chalkboard-style print and think it looks great with almost any style home decor.  You can have this print enlarged and printed at  your local office supply store.  Mine is a 24″ x 36″ print.    For the wood trim at the top and bottom of the wall chart, I used wood screen trim from Lowe’s that I cut to size.  Then, I used a bead of hot glue to attach the chart to the wood trim.  You can tie or glue a cord to the wood trim to create a hanger.

And, then I decided to make this printable handwriting chart in two more styles – a green chalkboard with white print and parchment with black print.  I’m not sure which one I like more?

I hope you like this handwriting wall chart and that you’ll make one for your own home!  It’s a great decor piece at this “back-to-school” time of year!  You can find all three versions of this printable in my FREE Printable Library.  Thanks for stopping by today!
