The Years 4–7 Targeting Handwriting Student Books have been de signed to make learning cursive handwriting as easy as possible for stud ents. New skills and techniques are introduced sequentially, so that stu dents build on skills one by one and aren't called on to use skills that haven't been introduced yet.

Wherever possible, students copy wo rds underneath models, so that left-handers aren't disadvantaged, and pr actice of numerals and punctuation is integrated into the writing activi ties. Assessment pages make assessment of specific handwriting skills ea sy, and the books also encourage and support student self-awareness. As students get older, they will encounter situations in which it is import ant to be able to write quickly and legibly.
