Handwriting

Little Wandle
At Forest Academy  we use the Little Wandle Handwriting programme in Reception and Year 1.
The Little Wandle Handwriting programme provides a structured approach to teaching handwriting right from the start of Reception eo ensure children are 'taught handwriting precisely, in a clearly sequenced progression, starting from reception, to support their gradual acquisition of skills.'  
In our school, Little Wandle Handwriting is taught alongside Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, and the programme progression takes account of children’s growing phonic knowledge. It uses the well‑loved and familiar mnemonics from the core Little Wandle programme to ensure children can make links in their learning
 
 
 
LetterJoin
From Year 2, children begin using some of the diagonal and horizontal strokes needed to join letters. They follow the LetterJoin Handwriting programme.
