Working at the Expected Standard:

• form capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one another and to lower-case letters.
• use spacing between words that reflects the size of the letters.

Working Above the Expected Standard/ Greater Depth:

As above but also, the children can

• use the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join some letters.

Practicing Handwriting:

The children actively practice and revisit how to form letters correctly within our handwriting sessions, progressing to horizontal and diagonal joins when appropriate.  The alphabet mat shown below depicts how upper and lower case letters should be formed, the red dot showing where each letter should begin.

Within the sub-links you will find resources for your use at home for extra practice.
