Learn how to write the alphabet correctly with this innovative handwriting Alphabet Manual. It's perfect for learning letter formation at home or in the classroom, from nursery to secondary school. We've used the easy reading Sassoon Font and each letter has the starting point and directional arrows to show how to write the letters correctly. Letters are grouped into their handwriting families and the unique overlay demonstrates the root letters, making it perfect for learning how one letter easily transforms into five other letters. Both capital and lowercase letters are shown together with shaded guidelines to help with the correct size and height of each letter. We have also included the unique Morrells bounce symbol to show the return direction of each letter to help children achieve an automatic movement and build muscle memory. A perfect resource for handwriting practice and for building good finger and wrist control. This manual will also encourage good pencil control in the dynamic tripod grip which will enable speedy and fluent pain-free handwriting in later life. A great way to teach handwriting in line with the National Curriculum.

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 In WriteWell 10: Speed children will learn how to maintain legibility at speed by experimenting with changes to their joined style and completing timed activities. 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. A selection of free online resources is also available from the Schofield & Sims website.

Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills children will learn. Creative, simple, and highly effective, this series is a must-have for every Early Years setting. One of the secrets to getting children to be enthusiastic writers is to give them a subject to write about that they find engaging and worthwhile. If children are not interested or motivated by what they have been asked to write about, you can be sure that any writing you do get will be rushed, short and a bit half-hearted. In 50 Fantastic Ideas for Early Writing Prompts, Alistair Bryce-Clegg offers a collection of all of his favourite ideas and inspirations that have motivated the children he works with to pick up their pencils and get scribbling!

In many schools throughout the UK children are encouraged to learn cursive letter shapes right from the start. By enabling children to start letter formation this way the transition to fully joined-up writing is much quicker. Letter shapes are shown in colour and the lead-in strokes that start on the line are in grey, so children can learn to distinguish the letter shape from the join lines.
