Penpals for Handwriting Year 2 Practice Book

The Practice Books provide specific handwriting focused practice – either introducing or practising letters, joins or key concepts such as size and proportion.

They are designed to support independent practice in the classroom, following a whole-class teaching session.

Each page corresponds to the units within the Teacher’s Books and includes opportunities for: Finger and pencil tracing, writing letters or joins; Writing phrases or sentences; Pattern practice; Self-assessment check. In Year 2, the four types of letter join are introduced ('diagonal to ascender', 'diagonal, no ascender', 'horizontal to ascender' and 'horizontal, no ascender').

• Ideal for use in smaller groups.

• Augments the interactive resource.

• Provides plenty of opportunity to perfect letter formation through repetition.
