This is the second handwriting book in the set. They look very similar so it won’t be as obvious what level children are working on.
Workbook 2 is for children beginning to learn how to join letter together. Each letter has two pages to practice on. There are example letters and grey versions to go over.
There are also practice pages at the back if children need to do some more of certain letters.
Print as many off as you need and turn into workbooks the children can use independently as daily practise. I always used them first thing in the morning with some relaxing music. I monitored the children as I walked around the room correcting mistakes and children knew to get their work checked before turning the page. Children worked at their own pace so some were on different workbooks and all children were challenged at the right level for them.
I hope it is helpful.
Have a look for other time saving, useful resources.
PSHE classroom or societal values challenge. Children rank different values according to their importance in society, including things like honesty and bravery as well as looking good. The activity can be done individually or in groups to begin a discussion about what people value against what is really important. It can link to school or classroom rules.
Great for establishing behavioural expectations with the children or exploring why there are certain rules and expectations in
Cutting and sticking.
Complete resource needs nothing else.
HOME EDUCATION OR IN SCHOOL RESOURCEFull workbook with comprehension, grammar, spelling and handwriting activities centred around a short text about two fish in a coral reef.
There is an overview of each day and tasks with helpful tips on how to support children who are struggling, as well as how to stretch and challenge those who are more confident.
This can be used in school by teachers and teaching assistants, or at home as part of your home education. (Please be aware, this is in a formal learning format for those who are following a more structured style of home education.)
The workbook can be completed across ten sessions and will end with a final story.
Suitable for children working around year 2/3 level, although it can be adapted if necessary.
Simple worksheet with the six objects listed at the bottom so you know what you need to draw in the boxes before you photocopy them. In the first six boxes the children must look at the picture and complete the basic sentence by spelling the final word using the sounds at the bottom. In the final box, the children must try to read the final word and draw their own picture of the object. There are three sheets.
I haven’t tried these yet so I hope they are useful!
