writing and spelling LINKS

I was just about to order some SpellWell workbooks and hope I could finagle a way to get them here and I realized I'd really better check to see what I can find online for free printables first.  These finds are gold...  For a mom who just wants some guidelines to make sure I'm track... heading somewhere rather than trying to get more poor student everywhere at once... these links are just. so. helpful.

WRITING
http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/handwriting-paper.htm    She's got every size/ shape/ arrangement of writing lines with or without blank spaces to draw.

http://www.kidzone.ws/cursive/index.htm     Cursive first is a beautiful program and it was recommended to me as far superior to simple copying because you describe the shape of each letter first... but sometimes I think our child development brilliance is just a bit much for what real learning needs to be, at least for my regular students!  These worksheets would have made my cursive first purchase unnecessary!  I think they do a great job describing and introducing and modeling each letter.   I printed off the whole set and will make copies for each of our students!

http://www.classroomjr.com/learning-abc/     Super worksheets for our littlest two learners.  So nice for us when even dollar store workbooks cost a bundle to ship here!!!

SPELLING/ GRAMMAR
http://www.k12reader.com   Spelling lists (to blaze through...  but still, the guidelines help me!)  This site also has some super lesson plan pages to print off and grammar worksheets....  lots of resources here!

http://www.education.com   Man.... so.... many... resources!    This site and the one above it are similar to a hundred (thousand?) other sites but these two are presented beaituflly and tolerably... without dumb graphics to embarrass any teacher/parent who would want to use the site.
