Joined Handwriting Year 3 & 4 (28 Worksheets, Trace and Copy)

Children trace first and then copy, with 28 different joined handwriting worksheets. The pack teaches the four joins (diagonal, horizontal, diagonal to ascender and horizontal to ascender) in joined words, and the break letters j, q, x, y and z that are left unjoined. All writing is set in a joined handwriting font on 4-line guides, with 3-line guides on the later pages. Models are in dark ink, with grey copies to trace.
