Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold
Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.
Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 1/2 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

39 worksheets for lots of practice!
This bundle allows pupils to practise their handwriting from a very basic level.
This pack is appropriate across both KS1 and KS2.
There are 3 documents provided in this bundle.
Each individual document is 39 pages long.
The 1st document is ideal for those children in your class who who are really struggling with the formation of their individual lowercase letters. Each letter that is provided has arrows indicating to the child where they should start and where they should finish. It also indicates the order in which the child should be forming their strokes.
The full alphabet has been printed in font sizes 50, 40 and 30.
This is so that you can easily print the sheets separately if you wish.
Towards the end of the pack, there is a separate section. Again, this can be printed separately if prefered. On each page within this section, the child is provided with 2 pictures, which they can trace outside, and then colour in. Above the image is the word which again, they will need to write.
The 2nd and 3rd pack are similar in terms of the structure.
However, the 2nd pack provides the children with text written which is written with ‘dots’ which sit on guidelines. Children are to trace these letters which will help with their letter formation.
The 3rd document removes the guide lines, but still provides the ‘dots’ for the children.
Please leave reviews and any feedback.
I will try and respond make any changes that are required.
