Course Description
Developing fluent, neat handwriting is a requirement of the national curriculum and a particular focus in many recent OFSTED inspections. This course will present a range of ideas and activities to help you to teach the art of handwriting well across Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Handwriting plays an important part in the transcription element of writing. Ofsted's English Research review (May 2022) emphasised the importance of fluent transcription being in place by the end of lower KS2 in order for older pupils to be able to focus on the content of their writing.
This course will provide you with a range of ideas and activities for teaching handwriting, beginning with gross and fine motor skills and then looking at ways to develop a neat and fluent script.
The information will be suitable for any teachers who wish to improve the presentation skills of their pupils.
