Handwriting for Beginners

This book contains copy pages which start with movement patterns and progress to specific letters in the Kingston Cursive style. The letter style and the sequence of learning is carefully structured and at an early stage, sound-symbol relationships can be established as an aid to both spelling and reading.

Letter Groups
Letters which share similar handwriting patterns are grouped together and a set of approximately 11 photocopiable work sheets is provided for each group.

The sample page to the right shows the different letter groups and the letter shapes.

Work Sheets
Work sheets for each group begins with practice of the relevant handwriting pattern in a large size, first written between double lines and then over a dotted line. The letters in the group are then introduced (at least one page for each letter) and illustrated with a drawing. The letters are first practiced alone and then joined to one or two letters. The letters are practiced in a variety of ways: writing over dotted lines or with the help of a starting point and sometimes with a base line. The following sample pages show the 12 work sheets for the letters in group A.
Similar sets of work sheets are supplied for each group of letters.
