Handwriting is one of the most crucial skills students will develop in primary school. Targeting Handwriting covers the handwriting curriculum in a clear and structured way, with content directly linked to NSW syllabus outcomes. Writing is a vital, compelling form of communication. Children need to write everyday for a variety of purposes and for a variety of audiences. To be competent writers, their handwriting needs to be fluent and legible. Also available, Targeting Handwriting NSW Teacher Resource Books:

Targeting Handwriting NSW Year 1 Student Book gives students two pages of tracing, tracking and independent writing exercises for each letter, plus:

• lower case and upper case letters and letters in words
• punctuation
• practice pages for numerals 1-10
• simple sentences for students to trace and copy
