Penpals for Handwriting is a complete handwriting scheme for 3-11 year olds. The Practice Books provide specific handwriting focused practice - 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.
