At Whiteheath, we use the Phonics International (created by Debbie Hepplewhite) approach to teaching joined, cursive handwriting. 

• Get Squiggling

• Handwriting Repeater

• ICT Games (Handwriting)

• Teach Handwriting - This website has advice for parents and animations of handwriting joins to support you at home.

• National Handwriting Association - This website suggest lots of apps which can be used at home to support your children with handwriting.

By the end of Year 6, children will be able to: 

• write legibly, fluently and with increasing speed by:
  • choosing which shape of a letter to use when given choices and deciding whether or not to join specific letters
  • choosing the writing implement that is best suited for a task
