Treasure houseBook 6: Handwriting

Treasure House Handwriting is a whole-school programme designed to support children in developing a clear and fluent style of writing.

Using precursive and cursive handwriting styles, the programme progresses from introducing the movements and patterns needed to form letters, through to the development of a personal style. The worksheets in this resource book extend children's mastery of the three handwriting styles:1.

A neat, 'best' form2. A speedier and sometimes less neat form3. A clear, well-formed print style Children are encouraged, through a variety of traditional calligraphy and modern presentational tasks, to develop a style that is personal and unique to themselves. Useful teacher notes accompany the 47 worksheets for children.
