■ Handwriting Today - Book C

Handwriting Today is a comprehensive joined cursive handwriting programme of four Pupil Books to help pupils develop neat, legible handwriting.

Features:

• cursive style increases speed, fluency and spelling accuracy
• research shows that cursive handwriting discourages reversal and transposition of letters and is also the recommended style for pupils with dyslexia
• Handwriting Today introduces pupils to the cursive style in a systematic and structured fashion, with numerous practice and review pages to ensure success
• groups individual letters into 'families' based on the direction of formation, to aid teaching and learning
• can be used in conjunction with 'My Spelling Workbook' where pupils can practice the words in cursive style to encourage word pattern retention once they have mastered individual letter formation
• Let's Join In software package perfectly complements this series, allowing teachers to design additional handwriting worksheets in the exact cursive style used in the Handwriting Today series. 
• ensures that schools have a 'whole-school' approach to handwriting in terms of letter shapes, height and starting and ending positions, so pupils encounter the same style year after year
• Handwriting Today uses Peannaireacht font which is a cursive font created to take the best from traditional cursive fonts and blends with the best of contemporary font designs to provide a smooth flowing, easy-to-write and easy-to-view handwriting font that will create habits that remain in later years.
• FREE Handwriting Today demo (PC version only) available to download.
