Handwriting Today

Features:

Handwriting Today: 

• Removes the need for teaching a pre-cursive letter formation. It introduces individual letters at Book A level, that have the identical shape and form of those used at later stages when joining letters and creating words
• Starts with a cursive font and builds to joins and words quickly. 
• Uses a flowing cursive font that combines the best of traditional and contemporary fonts to create an easy-to-write and easy-on-the-eye writing style. Students find this an easy beginning. 
• Focuses on the flow of letters and text and avoids a start-stop writing style which in turn leads to illegible writing in later years. A smooth flowing style is the result of using Handwriting Today. 
• Makes it easy for young children to build their skills, as in the early stages all lower case letters share the same starting point 

Handwriting Today is available from Book A to Book D 

Book A - Letters are introduced in Book A where young writers practise word shapes and formations before moving to joins in the following year 

Book B - Looks at creating joins and practising various letter combinations leading to the writing of words
