Targeting Handwriting Teacher Guides are designed to support teachers with a complete and comprehensive handwriting program. They complement student workbooks and include dedicated resources for each year level.
The full series of teacher guides is available as Free-to-Download PDF’s to help ensure that educators have all necessary tools to effectively teach handwriting at every stage of primary education.
The Teacher Guides:
• Introduce each new skill sequentially in a structured manner. This structured progression helps students develop strong, consistent handwriting skills over time
• Include more than a hundred worksheets as extra practice for each letter. Assessment pages help teachers to assess specific skills and allow opportunities for student self-assessment.
•Include a troubleshooting chart to help identify handwriting difficulties.
•Address the updated Australian Curriculum V9 and NESA Syllabus.

2. Have students clip pegs around the top of an icecream container,using thumb and index finger. Ask them to try it with both hands.
3. Have students use plastic tweezers to pick up chick peas from a container and share equally between first two,then three,then four egg carton cups.(Start with 12 chick peas.)
4. Ask students to use thumb and index fingers only to ‘flick’a variety of object, eg felt-tip pens,pencils, pegs,counters,into an icecream container.(Spread students out well to keep them from flicking objects into each other.)
1. Make some base board race tracks out of cardboard. Cover with contact paper or laminate.Have students drive toy cars along the tracks.
2. Provide a collection of regular and irregular cardboard shapes.Ask students to use thumb tacks to secure the shapes onto styrofoam boards to make pictures.(The lids of broccoli boxes work well.)
3. Sewing cards — either commercially made or made from thick card.
4. Have students ‘post’blocks into ice-cream containers through shaped holes cut into the lids.
Name practice activities:
1. Playdough names.Provide students with a name card showing starting points and directional arrows.Have them make the letters in their name using playdough, on a work mat.
2. Rainbow names.Provide students with a name card they can use to trace their name using five different coloured crayons.Include arrows showing directions and a starting point on each letter.
3. Practise writing names using chalk and little blackboards. Provid e name cards for reference.
4. ‘Magic window’names.Place a piece of acetate (overhead projector transparency sheet) over each student’s name card.Ask students to trace their name with a whiteboard pen,clean off with a tissue, and then repeat several times.
1. Provide students with icecream lids with slits cut in them and card strips for weaving.
2. Have students fold and cut paper towels to make doilies,and dip co rners into dyes to decorate.
