K/1 Handwriting or Spelling with extra activities

[AnniePoo]

I have a 5yo that is learning handwriting.  He currently is working through a little workbook that goes through how to write the ABC's and also has a little extra activity at the bottom of each page (count the number of B's, color a picture of something starting with B, etc).  He adores the extra little activities.  I'd like him to go through another one next year but all the main curricula seem to be pretty much just letter formation.

 

He's really, really advanced in spelling and phonics so I could also easily use a 1st or 2nd grade spelling workbook for handwriting practice if it has handwriting lines to write on.  I don't need anything extensive, just an opportunity to practice forming the letters a few times per week in a fun way.

 

Any links?

Handwriting Without Tears is a multisensory program with includes building letters with blocks, a magnetic board, chalk board, and play dough. I love it for introducing letter forms, especially for kids with poor fine motor skills and poor spatial processing.

This is free and looks really good, although I haven't used it :)
