ELG Reference Learning Outcome/Objective

ELG 04

ELG10

To hold pencil/pen correctly [froggy legs]

To produce an increasingly controlled line which supports letter formation.

To write from L-R. Top - bottom

Nursery will introduce letter patterns using Collins Pre Writing Skills.

They will teach the correct formation of the lower case letters

alongside the teaching of Letters and Sounds.

They will use the Berol First Print Alphabet as their scheme.

Year Group: Reception Term 1

EY Reference Learning Outcome/Objective

ELG 04 To hold pencil/pen correctly [froggy legs]



Reception to use a combination of plain and lined paper from start. Children to write on lines from beginning.

Reception will follow the handwriting scheme from Berol Handwriting Preparatory Cursive Alphabet

Resources – Letters and Sounds

Berol Handwriting Preparatory Cursive Alphabet p.12

1st Term:

Letters and sounds - Hand writing Practice alongside phoneme [ Letters and Sounds Order.] Where phonemes are two letters joined the children will be

taught how to join the two letters together .e.g. ai, ie, ee, ue

The worksheets referred to from term 2 onwards are those found in the Collins Pre writing Skills and Beginning Handwriting which is kept in

the nursery. They do not have to be used but are there as examples of how to form the letters.

Berol Handwriting Scheme:

The lower case alphabet letters flow from one to the next in a continuous line, with clear breaks between words.

All letters except x and z begin with a lead-in rising upstroke.

All lower case letters join

21 letters join with a rising link. * This may change depending on the preceding letter e.g. om, on, ra etc.

5 letters join with a horizontal [mid-point] [f r o v w]. *This dips slightly when joining to e.

All lower case letters reach an imaginary midway line.

Note: s the upward diagonal stroke and downward vertical are both straight.

Ascenders are looped at slight angle from mid-point to the top [almost to the top line] then have straight stem as they descend,[Step 1:2 , 2:1, 3:2

p.16,18]

b f h k l

d t have no looped top. [f and t are three-quarter height ascenders [Step 7:2,]

tt is crossed by a single, longer line going through both tt at midway point.

Descenders are looped - reach imaginary mid-way line below. Width of loop should relate to the width of the rest of the letter i.e slightly narrower. [Step

g j y

q does not loop. Always joins to u

As a staff we have decided that the x will join from the top rather than the bottom, e.g.

B D O P [Do not change from early scheme]

CL which do join from horizontal link. [3]

A F [Change from early Scheme join from the crossline at mid-way point]

H [No change from early scheme, join from the crossline at mid-way point]

The lower case alphabet letters flow from one to the next in a continuous line, with clear breaks between words.

HANDWRITING vocabulary List

The line leading into 24 lower case letters is called

lead-in rising upstroke [sometimes referred to as an initial rising up stroke]

This line always begins on the line. ________

The point where the remaining 2 lower case letters begins is called

mid-point

The line joining 21 lower case letters/14 upper case letters , to the next letter is called a

rising link

The line joining 5 lower case/3 upper case letters at the mid way point is called

horizontal join

lead-in rising upstroke

This is a line which begins on the line and leads into a beginning/

initial letter.

________________

rising link

This is a line which begins on the line and joins with a slope to the

next letter.

_________________

horizontal join

This is the line joining at the mid-way point.
