Handwriting

Here at St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School, children in the Early Years are taught to recognise, read and write in a printed form. All children are taught cursive handwriting in a progressive way using Letterjoin. 

EYFS- printed letters in line with Read Write Inc phonics scheme 

Year 1- Lead out letters

Year 2- Lead in and Lead Out letters. Children will join diagraphs they have been taught

Year 3 to Year 6 - cursive

We aim for our pupils to develop a neat, legible, speedy handwriting style using continuous cursive letters in a joined handwriting script that leads to producing letters and words automatically in independent writing.
