Carol Matchett Handwriting Practice gives pupils practice in forming and joining letters, helping them to develop handwriting that is neat, fluent, legible and fast. Fully compatible with any handwriting scheme, the series works methodically through all the letters and joins, with workbook-style pages for children to complete. Short and helpful tips provide the key information that children need in order to write correctly, and revision activities consolidate learning. Each book ends with a series of longer copying activities – some simulating real-life writing tasks and others featuring songs and poems.
Handwriting Practice 1 focuses on practising correct letter formation, with capital letters introduced halfway through.
Dotted or shaded letters and joins, with arrows indicating direction, are provided when a letter or join is first practised.
Handwriting Practice 2 gives pupils practice in joining letters to form words. By the end of the book, pupils should be able to write fluently on lined paper.
Starting dots make clear to the pupil where the pencil should first touch the paper.
‘X-height’, ascender and descender lines are provided throughout the first book, being gradually phased out in the second.
