Oxford Handwriting for New South Wales is a comprehensive program for K–6, which has been written for the NESA syllabus and supports a phonics-aligned approach. The order of letters in the Year K book is aligned with the Letters and Sounds phonics sequence so that students learn to write the letters as they are learning to read them. For Years 1 and 2, the letters are grouped by shape, using words and phrases that are fully decodable. For years 3 to 6, each book has an interesting and informative theme to engage the students as they learn cursive writing to improve speed and legibility.
This series is designed to introduce and develop the fundamental skills of handwriting with explicit direct instruction. When taught and practised frequently, students will master a fluent automatic style. This complete handwriting series features information and reminders for correct posture, pencil grip and paper position, and plenty of opportunities to model and practise accurate letter formation and keyboarding techniques. For adopting schools, the Oxford Handwriting interactive on Oxford Owl allows teachers to explicitly model how to form letters from print to cursive joins.
