The Oxford Let's Practise Handwriting series proudly introduces learners to our fun print and cursive monsters. These friendly monsters will support children every step of the way as they start their handwriting journey. Every handwriting stroke is represented by a different monster to provide clear instruction in the correct formation of every letter of the alphabet. This will assist parents and teachers with teaching handwriting while also keeping children interested. This exciting new series is CAPS-aligned. It provides an excellent opportunity for children to build a strong foundation in developing directionality, drawing, tracing, pattern creation, spacing familiarity and letter formation while also introducing them to cursive writing. The engaging activities provide plenty of practice in order to develop and strengthen fine and gross motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination. Our brand new handwriting font has been researched and developed by a team of local teacher s and education experts. The unique font aims to facilitate the process of teaching handwriting more easily. It is easy to use and will form the foundation for future writing activities.

Comprising eleven pupil books and one accompanying teacher's handbook, Schofield & Sims WriteWell is a complete course designed to guide children from their first steps in mark-making towards the development of secure, fluent and comfortable joined handwriting that can be adapted for a range of purposes. Handwriting is a complex process that requires the simultaneous use of cognitive, physical and perceptual skills. As development can vary greatly from child to child, Schofield & Sims WriteWell splits learning into manageable modules, offering you the flexibility to select the appropriate book for your child's needs. Young writers can then move through the programme at their own pace as their handwriting skills flourish - a highly personalised approach that ensures a confident foundation for every child. Each pupil book contains 15 units, together with a child-friendly introduction and at least one longer `WriteWell challenge' task giving pupils the opportunity to use their best handwriting to `show off' everything they have learnt. Each of these units provides a clear handwriting focus, explained in the information panel at the beginning of each spread, followed by focused practise activities that gradually increase in difficulty, progressing from simple `Try it' and `Practise it' exercises involving tracing and copying, to more challenging `Apply it' activities that encourage children to use the handwriting focus in a realistic context. In WriteWell 6: First Joining children will learn how to join letters for the first time, starting with the most basic diagonal and horizontal joins. A separate accompanying teacher's handbook, WriteWell Teacher's Handbook (ISBN 9780721716442), mirrors the structure of the pupil books and contains detailed teaching notes and photocopiable resources to help support the teaching of handwriting.

From the invention of the alphabet to the explosion of the internet, Dominic Wyse takes us on a unique journey into the process of writing. Starting with seven extraordinary examples that serve as a backdrop to the themes explored, it pays particular attention to key developments in the history of language, including Aristotle's grammar through socio-cultural multimodality, to pragmatist philosophy of communication. Analogies with music are used as a comparator throughout the book, yielding radically new insights into composition processes. The book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the Paris Review interviews with the world's greatest writers such as Louise Erdrich, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ted Hughes, and Marilynne Robinson. It critically reviews the most influential guides to styles and standards of language, and presents new research on young people's creativity and writing. Drawing on over twenty years of findings, Wyse presents research-informed innovative practices to demonstrate powerfully how writing can be learned and taught.
