The Year 4 Penpals for Handwriting Teacher's Book provides clear step-by-step instructions on how to move children from learning letter formation and joins to more technical aspects like letter height and consistency. At this stage, children continue to join through a word with an understanding of break letters. They are taught and practise joining from p and b. The emphasis is on the size, proportion and spacing of their handwriting, as well as speed and fluency in discrete handwriting lessons and in their independent writing.
