Synopsis

The Little Wandle Handwriting programme, produced by Collins in collaboration with Little Wandle, provides a structured approach to teaching handwriting. Written by experts at Little Wandle, it is based on the latest research on how to teach handwriting. The programme includes supportive teaching guidance alongside high quality, engaging Workbooks.

This write-in workbook builds on the skill of joined writing by embedding it in further practice. It introduces pupils to more punctuation and develops fluency in joined writing through more sustained practice and longer writing. There are pages for digit extension and practice, writing personal information and application of learning through fact and poem writing at the back of the book.
