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.

The objectives of Book 1 are to establish good basic habits of paper positioning and pencil hold, and to develop the fine motor skills needed for accurate, consistent writing. The book takes the young writer from basic pencil handling and co-ordination exercises through to formation of letters and simple short words. The 28 worksheets contain an entertaining mix of games and puzzles, which parents (or grandparents!) and child will enjoy doing together. Billy Beetle, Sam Spider, Willie Woodlouse and Sally Snail lead the left-handed child through the worksheets. The illustrations are aimed primarily at the 6-7 year-old, when many left-handed children become more conscious of the difference between their writing style and that of their right-handed peers. However, the overall design is suitable for any age: we've heard from grateful users nearer to retirement age than to next year's Year 2...
