The Years 4–7 Targeting Handwriting Stude nt Books have been designed to make learning cursive handwriting as easy as possible for students. New skills and techniques are introduced sequ entially, so that students build on skills one by one and aren't called on to use skills that haven't been introduced yet.
Wherever possi ble, students copy words underneath models, so that left-handers aren't disadvantaged, and practice of numerals and punctuation is integrated in to the writing activities. Assessment pages make assessment of specific handwriting skills easy, and the books also encourage and support studen t self-awareness. As students get older, they will encounter situations in which it is important to be able to write quickly and legibly.
