What will my child write?

The ten writing tasks include:

How can it help?

The activities give children opportunities to practise:

• Recognising and forming lowercase and capital letters.
• Pencil control and placing letters on writing lines.
• Moving from tracing to independent writing.
• Using letters in meaningful words and messages.
• Building confidence through achievable practice.

Progress varies from child to child. Short, enjoyable sessions and encouragement can help make practice feel more manageable.

Who is it for?

Suggested for ages 4–7, depending on your child’s current skills. Suitable for home learning, homeschooling and additional handwriting practice.

The clear layouts, generous writing space and different ways to practise may suit some children with SEND. Adults can offer choices, model activities and adapt the amount of writing expected. Younger or emerging writers may need help reading prompts and composing answers.
