Penpals for handwritingYear 4,: Practice book (Second edition)

Penpals for Handwriting is a complete handwriting scheme for 3–11 year olds. The Practice Books provide specific handwriting focused practice – either introducing or practising letters, joins or key concepts such as size and proportion.

They are designed to support independent practice in the classroom, following a whole-class teaching session.

Each page corresponds to the units within the Teacher's Books and includes opportunities for: Finger and pencil tracing, writing letters or joins; Writing phrases or sentences; Pattern practice; Self-assessment check.

In Year 4, we move on from letter formation and joins to look at more technical aspects such as letter height and formation.
