Handwriting
At Driffield Junior School, we encourage children to initially master basic letter formation. Once they can confidently and accurately do this, they begin to join. This allows children to be able to write more fluently and it makes it easier to write at speed. During handwriting practice, children will be taught how to write, form and join letters accurately and will be reminded and encouraged to do this in all lessons whilst maintaining the appropriate handwriting position. Children begin their writing journey with a pencil and move on to pen when their handwriting is fluent and legible.
This is an example of how cursive letters are formed and written. This poster is displayed in all classrooms for children to use if they forget how a letter should be formed.
