They provide lots of opportunities to develop the key skills that are the basis of primary school curriculum work. The workbooks are available in three levels: 3-5 years, 5-7 years, and 7-9 years. The activities are fun and are designed to stimulate discussion, as well as practical skills. Some children will be able to complete the activities alone, after initial discussion; others may benefit from adult support throughout. All children will enjoy rewarding themselves with a sticker when they reach the end of an activity. Using the book At Home With Handwriting 2 offers a variety of activities which focus, in particular, on the following skill: * using a comfortable and efficient pencil grip P + writing legibly, using upper and lower case letters + forming words, using the four basic handwriting joins + understanding the need to leave gaps between words + understanding the relationship between individual letter shapes, sequences and sounds. Starting to write Before the children start to write, make sure they are sitting comfortably with a level surface in front of them. Encourage them to find a relaxed posture, by shrugging their shoulders, stretching and ben ‘wriggling their fingers. Then give them a pencil and check that they are holding it correctly as shown. ig their arms and Left-handed Right-handed nA OXFORD ‘fora Univesity Press sa deparanet ofthe Unies of Oxf nit em Jena Aktand 1985 mista yan Riley ‘The mora eights othe autor hae been sete itabse ight Orford Uniersiy Pes ake) ‘st pubihed 1385 Rea a 3 Age served, ‘Wudyor mat lapen he maetocliionta ap cope Bosh brary Cataloging in Pbltion Data aaah miei mre Sr ab ee Te an he eqvsonmcte psn ofthe oan of Sass oo iContents Capital letters. 4 Letters of different sizes... 5 Joined small letters... 6 Joined tall and small letters. ™ Theletters co a dg. 8 Theletters i ru aoce 9 The letters n co m a. 10 The letters r c o anomd W Joined small letters. 12 Joined small and tall letters - - seersersees 13, Joined small and tall letters. 14 L__] Joined letters, words and sentences.
