Some of our parents have asked if we could help them find resources that would allow their children to practise forming letters correctly at home. This is a great idea because forming letters the right way help children write clearly and fluently. It also helps them get ready for joined-up writing which will be coming along very soon!
Jolly Phonics Letter Sounds is one app that allows children to form letters using a finger on a phone or a tablet. Apparently it is available for Apple or Android devices and costs about £5. Let us know if you are aware of any other good handwriting apps and we’ll share your ideas on the blog.
We have also made handwriting paper which you can print out if you want your child to practise making letters exactly the right size and positioning them in exactly the right place! Click on the link below to download it.

Hope that helps!
