Handwriting
•
Pupils should be taught to:
•
use the diagonal and horizontal strokes that
are needed to join letters
•
increase the legibility, consistency and
quality of their handwriting [for example, by
ensuring that the downstrokes of letters are
parallel and equidistant; that lines of writing
are spaced sufficiently so that the ascenders
and descenders of letters do not touch].
•
The children should be joining using the
Lantern cursive style.
