Daily handwriting practice will enable children to dramatically improve.
The Best Handwriting series for Key Stage 2 consists of a teachers' photocopiable resource books, together with four pupil textbooks. The series follows on from Best Handwriting for Ages 4-7 and introduces a system of total joining. Pupils are given clear examples for each letter of the alphabet in both upper and lower case; they are also shown the correct formation of numbers and the formation of pound, euro and dollar signs. Joins are introduced in a logical step-by-step approach. Punctuation is also covered in detail, providing opportunities for pupils to learn when to use specific punctuation marks and how to form them. The photocopiable title provides a whole school policy for handwriting as well as introductory activities for the four year-groups in Key Stage 2 and sits alongside the textbooks: Best Handwriting Books 3, 4, 5 and 6. These provide further practice and consolidation of the activities introduced in the teachers' book.
