At Fielding, we use the 'Teach Handwriting Scheme, 'which has been developed to provide a whole school (pupils aged 4 to 11 years old), differentiated, holistic approach to teaching handwriting. 

Many parents have recently asked teachers how they can support their child's pencil/pen grip and handwriting development at home, so we would like to share resources from their website: https://teachhandwriting.co.uk/parents.html. Here, you can find animations, videos and printable sheets which will reinforce your child's progress at school. 

We teach pupils to form cursive letters in Year 1 (which start on the line) and then how to join them in Year 2 onwards. If you feel that your child requires support with joining their letters, you may like to use the following animations and worksheets: https://teachhandwriting.co.uk/continuous-cursive-joins.html
