Move Write Book A (Cursive) is a developmentally designed handwriting practice book that supports the introduction of print style handwriting.
Research suggests that there are a variety of ways to group letters in relation to the of teaching of handwriting. The approach taken in Move Write Book A follows on from the Move Write: A Whole-body Approach to Handwriting programme. It is a child-led, sensory-rich developmental approach that can be used in the whole-class or in one-to one settings with individual learners.
Learners are invited to look carefully at all the letters on the page and to examine the distinguishing features of each letter. This activity is building on the visual discrimination skills developed in the Move Write: A Whole-body Approach to Handwriting programme. In this way, the children themselves will develop their own ideas about letter characteristics and which letters should be grouped together, which will make them more likely to be able to remember how to form the letters correctly.
