Parent Guide to Cursive Handwriting

By making each letter in one movement, children’s hands develop a ‘physical memory’ of it, making it easier to produce the correct shape. All letters �ow from left to right making it less likely for children to reverse letters. There is a clear distinction between upper and lower case letters. The continuous �ow of writing ultimately improves speed of writing and aids accurate spelling.

Pencil gripEncourage your child to hold the pencil comfortably between the thumb and index�nger with the middle �nger providing support. It is important that guidance is sought from school if you are unsure as children develop a grip at di�erent times and should not be ‘forced’.

PostureA child’s seat and table should be a comfortable height and your child should be encouraged to sit up straight.

Paper positionFor most children paper should be on the right and slightly tilted to the left. If your child is left handed then extra encouragement is needed as our writing system favours a right handed child. A left hander makes joining strokes that are pushed whereas a right hander pulls.

Ensuring We Get It RightIn order to ensure we are supporting your child’s handwriting at school, please indicate which versions of the cursive letters your child is learning by circling the examples below. If you are unsure, please seek guidance from your child’s teacher. Our tutors will work to this guide.
