I just finished a new template for Form Drawing. You can find the download HERE. Of course the specific Montessori exercises for handwriting preparation are the Metal Insets. Although Form Drawing is not an official Montessori activity, it was introduced to me by a Montessori teacher and it seems to be a natural extension to the drawing exercises from the insets. The repetition of lines and shapes of Form Drawing reminded me of the uniform continuous movement of the Palmer Method handwriting drills. The Homeschool Classroom shares the following info and tips in her blog post Form Drawing for Better Handwriting: In this type of form drawing, students practice one shape or pattern at a time, slowly creating the lines and forming the image as carefully as possible. Taking time to practice new forms each week can improve concentration and focus and increase hand-eye coordination. It can also be excellent pre-writing practice, since drawing straight lines and curves as “pictures” first is a great way to introduce the fine motor skills needed to form letters correctly. You can also use form drawing to correct handwriting problems or prepare a student for cursive writing (the running forms are great for this). Start simple, then follow the standard progression – straight lines and curved lines, followed by standing forms (shapes), then running forms. You can continue into the upper grades with new types of forms in each grade, including symmetry exercises, complicated knots, geometric designs, mandalas, and more. Begin big. Walk forms on the ground, draw them in the air, and trace them on a white board or chalkboard before breaking out the paper and pencils. A student's Form Drawing lesson fills an entire chalkboard HERE. You will find an **excellent** gallery source for Form Drawing ideas HERE. Another explanation and some sample work can be viewed HERE. Form Drawing may be an aid to concentration, mental clarity and one's sense of balance. The Type A Parent also includes the recommendation of Form Drawing for Helping Your Child with Dysgraphia.

If eyes are a mirror to your soul, then beautiful handwriting must be a window. It might sound funny, but our penmanship tells so much about us! A skilled professional might see through you only by looking at your lettering. Beautiful cursive handwriting can tell about your personality, state of mind, traumatic events, hand-eye coordination, and even bone structure that affects the way you hold the pen. The way you dot your Is and cross your Ts, how you write the lowercase and uppercase letters, and many other factors showcase your temperament and individuality. Also, incredibly neat handwriting might not mean that you are a perfectionist, but also that you might have an OCD or are a pedantic person.
