Handwriting Worksheets Year 1 & 2 (28 Worksheets, Print and Joins)

Year 1 pages use unjoined print in four letter families: long ladder, one-armed robot, curly caterpillar and zigzag. Children trace each letter, then write it on empty lines, then do the same with words. Year 2 pages teach the four basic joins, letters best left unjoined, letter sizes and joined sentences. All model writing is in a clear UK handwriting font on 4-line guides, with dark models, grey copies to trace and empty lines to write on.
