Handwriting Ages 5-7: Prepare for school with easy home learning (Collins Easy Learning KS1) Paperback – 18 Dec. 2015

I got this book for my 7 year old for extra handwriting practice. It is pitched at the right level for him and he is happy to complete it (with a little DS bribery). I am not sure if a 5 year old could manage it unless they are a handwriting genius but maybe my standards are low, who knows? It starts with a recap of individual letters and then starts going through each join such as ‘in’ etc, it then gets you to practice each join with some simple words. Like bin, jam etc. It then does capitals, days of the week and numbers to 20. Finally colours. It gets you to trace then copy. I like the book as its colourful and has nice words that aren’t really small. This isn’t continuous cursive so if your school is doing that you may want a different book but its joined up writing as I was taught in the 80s and so I think it works well.

This book is good for children that already know to write

Our daughter really needed practice with her writing, and this has been fantastic.We did a couple of pages at a time and she really enjoyed working her way through, and was excited to see how her writing had improved.

Brilliant help for.my son who doesn't like writing, every day two pages has improved his confidence at school.

5 year old daughter enjoys writing

My four year old grandson tries to follow the lines, he is doing very well. Will be a great help for him.

Will going to purchase some more books in the future.

This book is a great help to my 6 year old granddaughter, she is left handed and sometimes gets her letters back to front.
