- Leave letters like 'b' unjoined when followed by certain letters, explaining why
- Write with consistent letter sizing on lined paper, ascenders and descenders in proportion
Assessment Prompt
Is your child starting to join up their letters when writing, so that their handwriting flows more smoothly rather than each letter standing completely separate?
