Print the sheets on your printer as often as you like and continuously improve your Japanese writing style. You can further increase you understanding of the stroke order by watching the stroke order video on the NIHONGO ICHIBAN website.

It takes time to get used to this and easily distinguish different words. There are no spaces between different words. which feels a little bit unusual for most foreigners. The reason why becomes obvious when practicing with a brush pen1 . which is very much recommended for beginners. 2 Wikipedia.
