New Handwriting Lines

In Class 2, the books that the children use have different lines to support their handwriting. This is a big adjustment for the children, but once they get used to using the lines, it has very positive impacts on their handwriting. Below, there are lots of resources to support your child in using the handwriting lines. 

 

If your child is still needing to practise letter formation, you can download the wider starter lines as the lines other lines are narrow and formation really needs to be accurate and pencil control steady before using them. Please also see the 'Letter Formation' section for resources to support your child in that area. 

 

Once your child has good pencil control and accurate letter formation, use the practice sheets below to help your child consolidate the work they're doing at school.

There is also a blank page of lines for any other writing they might do, such as story or diary writing - it will be good to practise sentence writing on them.
