Details:

Following the progressive sequence in the series, students will have a solid grounding on how to form the individual letters of the alphabet correctly, learning the correct start point and direction of movement.

They will have been introduced to early joins in the formation of digraphs and trigraphs emphasising that single sounds are represented by letters together in a grapheme.

As part of a good synthetic phonics programme young children will be learning in a multi-sensory way, integrating the sound of the letter, the shape of the visual symbol, the language of formation and hand movements.

The linking of the phoneme to the formation of each grapheme is an advantage of this Developmental Handwriting Series.

Each sheet provides a progressive way of teaching alphabet joins from one letter to the start point of the next letter.
