Year 1 and 2 are working really hard on their handwriting.
In Year 2, we have introduced the terms ‘ascenders’ and ‘descenders’ to help them position their letters correctly on the handwriting lines.
In both Year 1 and Year 2, the children are familiar with the story of brave monkey and scared monkey to help them understand which letters start at the top pink link (brave monkey’s branch) and which letters start at the top grey line (scared monkey’s branch).
Please visit http://kineticletters.co.uk/ to learn more about the Kinetic letters programme, or speak to your child’s class teacher.
Use this guide to help your child form their letters correctly at home:
Please can you upload a template of this four lines sheet that the children are using in school so that the parents can use the same at home for practice. Thanks.
Hi,
It can be found on the Year 1 Homework page.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your interest in using our handwriting paper! Great to see that you’re keen to help Syem practice handwriting at home 🙂
