QLD Targeting Handwriting Student Book Year 5

The Targeting Handwriting series provides everything you'll need to give your students a thorough grounding and lots of practice in all the vital handwriting skills. Writing is a vital, compelling form of communication. To be competent writers, our handwriting needs to be fluent and legible. The teaching of handwriting is an essential part of the writing curriculum.

The Years 4-7 Targeting Handwriting Student Books have been designed to make learning cursive handwriting as easy as possible for students. New skills and techniques are introduced sequentially, so that students build on skills one by one and aren't called on to use skills that haven't been introduced yet.

Wherever possible, students copy words underneath models, so that left-handers aren't disadvantaged, and practice of numerals and punctuation is integrated into the writing activities. Assessment pages make assessment of specific handwriting skills easy, and the books also encourage and support student self-awareness. As students get older, they will encounter situations in which it is important to be able to write quickly and legibly.
