Handwriting progression map for every year group outlining which letters/sounds/words such be practised each week. The handwriting is progressive in line with Little Wandle Phonics Scheme and Rising Stars Spelling Scheme. Foundation and Y1 should start with mark making, patterns and letter/number formation. Cursive handwriting is introduced in Y2. Handwriting starters should be used at the beginning of English lessons. Finger/hand/pencil warm-ups should introduce the lesson and grip and seating position should be reinforced every day. Model the handwriting then children practise.

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 1/2 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.)
