Write On! Boosting Fine Motor Skills and Confidence

Help me give my students handwriting tools and workbooks to support fine motor development and build confidence with handwriting.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Wells's classroom raised $400

My Project

Handwriting is more than just putting pencil to paper—it’s an essential skill that helps students express their thoughts, build literacy, and gain confidence as learners. In my classroom, many students are still developing the fine motor strength and coordination needed for clear, consistent handwriting. With your support, I hope to provide them with handwriting tools and workbooks that make practicing fun, engaging, and effective.

The materials I’m requesting— targeted handwriting practice books—will give students the structure and support they need to build strong writing habits early on.

These tools will help them form letters properly, develop hand control, and take pride in their written work. Rather than feeling frustrated or discouraged, students will be excited to see their own progress as their writing improves.

By investing in their fine motor development now, we’re setting them up for long-term academic success. Your support will directly impact their confidence, creativity, and communication. Thank you for helping my students write their way to a stronger future!
