Help your children to improve their handwriting with these Ready To Use practice activities.
Broken down into the different handwriting letter families, these activities focus on the key skills of letter formation and sizing both as individual letters and within high frequency words.
Designed to be completed as extra practice at home, each activity has 8 practice letters split into 4 parts and a consolidation section with every letter of the alphabet - one part for each day of the week. To support both children and parents, each activity has a QR code linking to a demonstration video which shows the correct starting points and formation for each letter.
All documents are completely editable, meaning you can adjust and adapt as necessary to suit your school and children!
The perfect assessment tool for collating and analysing children’s results, identifying strengths and gaps in the KS1 curriculum!
Simply enter the children’s marks per question for each paper, and not only will it calculate the children’s totals and level, but it will also identify which curriculum objectives they have achieved and which ones need further consolidation! Class averages are now also calculated per question and per objective to identify strengths and weaknesses across your cohort, informing your future planning and any additional support needed.
