4 Facts A British survey found that 40% of people had not written by hand in the past six months. In the USA it is no longer mandatory for teaching of any kind of handwriting. A French study in 2013 has found that handwriting is essential in developing reading skills. Children who learnt words for spelling by hand were able to more accurately recall them for reading and writing. They called this a reading circuit Source: Les élèves doivent garder la main! Science et Vie. Août 2013.
5 Warm-up games Crossing the midline Cross crawl Hook ups Double doodle Crazy 8 s Gross motor skills Fine motor skills Video - Incey Wincey Spider
6 Progression in handwriting Year Stage Examples Nursery Pre-writing skills Any fine and gross motor skill activity Climbing/ building with lego Manipulating playdough Finger painting Reception Pre-writing skills Letter Formation Number formation Settled dominant hand for writing Grip Body position Linked to phonics - RWI Cutting/ making/ Scrunching/ twisting Shredding paper/ playdough Balance activities Crossing the midline Writing templates Whole body formation Encouragement of emerging writing Chalk/ painting Building spatial activities Threading beads
7 Progression in handwriting Year 1 Year times per week Securing letter size (including Capitals) Ascenders and Descenders Letters on line Begin joining (lead in) 4-5 times per week Continue learning joins Break letters Skip lines (smaller lined books) Continue to focus on letter size Intervention where necessary Mini whiteboards Handwriting Books with tramlines Focus into transferring skills into other areas of learning. Links in with spellings and phonics. Handwriting books Joined up spellings Year 3 + Intervention where necessary Handwriting reinforced 3x weekly Skip lines Pen licence at the end of Year 3 Handwriting books leading into handwriting in normal sized literacy books.

8 Can you sort the alphabet into the groups that are similarly formed? Some will be in several groups. a) C curve letters b) Down, up and over letters c) Letters that descend below the line d) Tall letters e) x height letters
9 Letter formation C curve letters a c d g o q Down, up and over letters b h m n p r Letters that descend below the line g j q p y Tall letters b d h k l t X height letters a c e i m n o r s u v w x z
10 Remember the 3 P s Posture Pencil Paper
11 Grip and sitting position
12 Paper and pencil position: Encourage your child to hold the paper with other hand. Lighting When writing: Children should ensure their hand is underneath their writing rather than to the side. If it is to the side, when the hand moves across the page it can smudge if ink is being used.
13 Left handers Sitting position Position paper so that it is completely to left of child (never let it cross midline). Angle paper (you will need to do this for them) at a parallel angle to forearm (approx 45 angle much greater than right handers) use tape so chn know where to put paper. Specialist products (scissors, rulers, pens etc.)
14 The 4 basic joins
15 Joining Sets
16 Common Errors Grip Writing not sitting on line Trunk letters at same height Ascenders and descenders are at correct height. Letter formation Letters not joined correctly Letter spacing. Corrections: One line crossed through Pressure. Poor fine and gross motor skills/ muscle tone
17 Resources used in school Nelson thornes program Handwriting books and sharp pencils Whiteboards and pens Brain gym Triangular pencils Go over children s hands to form General strength and fine motor development exercises Practical activities sandpaper letters, paint, sand, chalks, fat felt pens,
18 How can you help at home? Correct formation Ascenders and descenders Pencil grip Letters on line Finger spaces Use large pens helps tripod grip BUT.. If it all becomes too much wait and try another day. Short and sweet as with anything Ask class teacher for help. Reception size/ neatness not a massive problem focus on formation End of reception/ early year 1 focus on reducing size consistency.
19 Please.. Additional handwriting support at home only with support of teacher (be careful of over burdening your child) Little and often Focus on formation over neatness and size Later focus on size
