Cambridge Penpals for Handwriting Year 1 Practice Book

Penpals for Handwriting Year 1 Practice Book

Author/s: Gill Budgell and Kate Ruttle

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.

Having learnt individual letters previously, children are introduced to letters within words for the first time in Year 1.

This Practice Book is designed for guided group work and individual practice, once the initial handwriting focus has been illustrated using the Year 1 Penpals for Handwriting Interactive resource. Year 1 is the first time letters are used within words.

Features:

• Ideal for use in smaller groups.
• Augments the interactive resource.
• Provides plenty of opportunity to perfect letter formation through repetition.
