Handwriting
Here at Bowker Vale we are very proud of our pupil’s handwriting and take particular care in our cursive/joined-up handwriting style. We use 'Letter-join' as the basis of our handwriting policy that covers all the requirements of the National Curriculum.
Handwriting is a basic skill that influences the quality of work throughout the curriculum. At the end of Key Stage 2 all pupils should have the ability to produce fluent, legible and, eventually, speedy joined-up handwriting, and to understand the different forms of handwriting used for different purposes.
We aim to make handwriting an automatic process that does not interfere with creative and mental thinking.
As a catalyst to speedy handwriting we encourage parents and carers to use the 'Letter-join' resources at home. A username and password will be given to your child by their class teacher.

Please see below for how we form our letters at Bowker Vale. Children start all of their letters from the grey dot.
