Handwriting Practice On Digital Tablet

Improving handwriting fluency requires practice. Now your students can practice handwriting on your computer using a digital pen tablet.

Peterson Directed Handwriting is introducing a new program for PC computers called, "PDF By Hand." The simple program allows you to open a page of a Peterson Lesson PDF E-book included with the program, and use your pen tablet to write on the pages. The writing is added to the page image on your screen as the pupil writes.

You can of course, save a practice page and also print it if you wish. You can attach the saved page to email and send it electronically. Yes, it is now possible to send a handwritten thank-you note electronically, and exchange personal notes with pen pals as well.

But, you can also practice a page as often as you wish without printing the results. After all, the practice effort should be about improving control of the movements. Until now, the only way you and your student could evaluate improvement, was to examine the practice paper.

PDF By Hand transforms a classroom computer with pen tablet into a handwriting practice station that won't require reams of handwriting practice paper. You can see the results of the practice effort on your screen and hopefully, in applied work each day.
