10 Visual Literacy & Handwriting Worksheets
Created by practising English teacher Olly Wyatt, Everyday English helps learners build sentences, practise handwriting and develop essential literacy skills through clear pictures and carefully structured activities.
Purposeful practice
A clear next step.
Pictures, trace-over writing and structured choices give learners a supported route into making sentences.
Essential literacy skills
Practise accurate verbs, sentence construction, word order, adjectives, adverbs, connectives and punctuation.
Handwriting practice
Faint trace-over words and sentences help learners practise before moving towards independent writing.
Visual support
Picture-led activities connect words with meaning and support learners who benefit from visual prompts.
Clear success criteria
“I can…” statements help pupils understand what they are practising.
Manageable progression
Activities move from choosing and tracing to completing, ordering and writing sentences.

Learners can colour the black-line illustrations after completing the literacy activities.
Economical printing
Black-and-white pages suitable for classroom and home printing.
