What’s included?
This download includes four A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x5 sounds.

What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to enable learners to practise handwriting the fourth set of phase 2 phonics letters - f ff l ll ss. Learners are guided where to write with a starting dot and grey letter shape to follow.

There are four sheets included, slightly different in design and level of challenge/support provided, though each sheet is numbered 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet). These numbers (and the cover image) left to right indicate the levels in order of easiest to hardest. Sheet 1 provides the most support with the least amount of challenge, sheet 4 provides the least amount of support with the most challenge. Learners could begin at sheet 1 and revisit these letters working through sheets 2 - 4 which incrementally provide less support yet more challenge each time.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource details

This activity has been designed to write straight on. Letters include ‘starting dots’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dots on top of letters guide where to write.

Set 4
This set includes handwriting practise for x5 sounds - f ff l ll ss.

• Page 1
  Learners have one set (row) of each letter/sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide.

• Page 2
  Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes the same (grey) letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot and without the dotted line guides. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the line (between the two) due to limited space.

• Page 3
  Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes some grey letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot. There is also a blank space for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the line (between the two) due to limited space.

• Page 4
  Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line is a blank line for learners to write each support without any scaffolding support. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the empty line (between the two) due to limited space.
