Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting. Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 5/6 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

Sponge, jam, sponge lines for handwriting Visual support for ascenders and descenders or small, tall and tails!

Self-portrait display pack, including hand grip/preference progress chart and coloured frames to use for the children`s drawings and writing. Throughout the year, the children will regularly draw a picture of themselves and have a go at writing or making a representation of their name. We will use these self-portraits as a lovely way to observe and celebrate their development, while also noticing changes in their pencil grip, hand preference, mark making and early writing skills. Each new picture is attached at the top of the previous one, creating a little visual timeline of their progress. As the year goes on, the children can look back and see just how much their drawings and writing have developed. eyfs_inspireplaycreate (Instagram & Tiktok) Inspire Play Create (Facebook)

Handwriting Reset is a structured, practical handwriting intervention designed for older pupils who need to relearn the foundations of clear, legible writing. This full-year programme focuses on the core skills needed for readable handwriting: letter formation, size, baseline control, spacing and fluency. It is particularly suitable for pupils whose handwriting is difficult to read because letters are poorly formed, bunched together, inconsistently sized or placed incorrectly on the line. The programme is designed for short, manageable 15–30 minute sessions and is ideal for use in 1:1 intervention, SEND support, literacy catch-up, tutoring, inclusion, alternative provision or small-group work. Importantly, the programme does not rely on reading ability. Letter and word activities can be completed as visual copying tasks, making the resource suitable for pupils who may also be receiving separate phonics or literacy intervention. What is included? A complete 36-session handwriting programme Structured across the full school year Detailed teacher guidance Accompanying student workbook Baseline and final handwriting assessments Progress checkpoints Personal target-letter activities Visual handwriting zone support Practical and hands-on activities The programme teaches letter formation, size and height control, baseline awareness, letter spacing, word spacing, fluency and sustained handwriting practice. It also includes pupil reflection and progress review activities. Programme sections: Section 1 — Control Before Letters Section 2 — Curly Letter Family Section 3 — Straight and Down Letters Section 4 — Humps, Stems and Rounded Letters Section 5 — Diagonals and Complete Alphabet Section 6 — Size Control Section 7 — Spacing Control Section 8 — Fluency and Transfer Many handwriting resources are aimed at younger children and can feel inappropriate for older pupils. Handwriting Reset keeps the teaching explicit and highly scaffolded while using a cleaner, more age-appropriate intervention style. The programme breaks handwriting down into manageable physical skills, allowing pupils to build success gradually rather than simply being told to “write more neatly”. It is especially useful for pupils who cannot consistently form lowercase letters, write letters that are difficult to recognise, bunch letters together, struggle with letter size or have poor baseline control. It is also suitable for pupils who mix tall, short and descending letters, need handwriting intervention alongside separate phonics teaching, lack confidence in written work or benefit from highly visual and practical learning. Suitable for: KS2 and KS3 handwriting intervention SEND pupils Dyslexia support Literacy intervention Alternative provision Tutoring 1:1 support Teaching assistants SENCO intervention programmes Home education

I have created this based upon the tortoise letters, giraffe letters and monkey letters idea. Each has it's own section. Hope it is of some use. My kiddies love it. xccw joined is the name of the font this has been created in as used in our school.
