I was asked by a couple of parents about handwriting at the recent learning discussions. You may have noticed the letter formation sheets that I glued into the children's home learning books, which show the correct formation for letters that we teach in New Zealand.
This chart (below) shows the correct starting points for the capital letters, lowercase letters and numbers. If you would like to practise at home please use these models for starting points
I have glued a copy of this sheet into only some handwriting books.
I have also attached a chart to show the pencil grip development of children:
Please help encourage your child to use the dynamic tripod grip to write with. This allows more fine movement with their fingers and greater fluency to write faster.
