Handwriting is one of the most crucial skills students will develop in primary school. Targeting Handwriting covers the handwriting curriculum in a clear and structured way, with content directly linked to NSW syllabus outcomes. Writing is a vital, compelling form of communication. Children need to write every day, for a variety of purposes and for a variety of audiences. To be competent writers, their handwriting needs to be fluent and legible. The teaching of handwriting is an essential part of the writing curriculum. The Targeting Handwriting program is the only Foundation handwriting program that supports teachers with a resource book for each year in Lower Primary. The books provide information regarding stages of development and common problems relevant to the age group. There is a teacher resource book to accompany each level – Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2. Years 3–6 are combined into one teacher resource book. Also available, Targeting Handwriting NSW Student Books:
