Handwriting

At Burrough Green we use Twinkl handwriting as it links into the phonics. It is a cursive handwriting.
In reception there is a big focus on developing the gross and small motor skills required in order to be able to hold a writing implement comfortably and effectively. Letter formation is taught and practiced daily through the daily phonics lessons.
In year 1 handwriting lessons occur weekly with a focus on learning the formation of letter families. In years 2-6 handwriting lessons continue to be taught to the whole class weekly.
