Handwriting is a core phonics skill and an essential part of learning phonics.
Letter recognition develops faster when children write real letters, enabling them to learn how to read sooner.
Whole School Handwriting Scheme
Your school’s phonics programme may not teach handwriting with a structured and consistent approach, therefore it is widely recommended that handwriting is also taught separately outside phonics lessons.
Letter-join’s whole school handwriting scheme is the perfect companion to your phonics teaching, ensuring progression in handwriting through each year group and across the school. Watch how Letter-join’s phonics handwriting activities can support your phonics programme >
