Introducing Easy Letters and Easy Words

There are 25 lessons to introduce Easy Letters and

Preparing for Module 3 of Letter-join’s Lesson Plans

Module 3 - Consolidating handwriting

By Year 2 children should already have established good handwriting
habits and developed the skills required for Module 3. They should be

cursive handwriting through regular practice, enabling them to form
letters securely and with the correct orientation.

Letter-join offers a wide variety of resources for children to practise and
develop a confident style of cursive handwriting. Letter-join's Word
‘Animator enables you create word banks especially for your class and
practise letters and words used in the lessons on the IWB or tablets.

This Module is ideal for teaching in Year 2 as it contains a great series
of helpful handwriting resources to support KS1 SATs.

Module 7. Children will be presented with a range of tasks where they
have to decide on an appropriate style of handwriting. They will practise

to practise selecting key points from a text and writing in note form. More
practice in writing with printed letters is covered in labelling exercises and
‘writing with capital letters when designing a word search. The chance to

The final set of more challenging dictation exercises will refine pupils’
revising and checking skills as well as boosting their handwriting speed,
stamina and fluency.

Module 7 also contains 22 lessons aimed at supporting learners in

‘worksheets provide children with a variety of fun and colourful activities to
ald their revision and ensure that they meet the expected standard of
handwriting. This series of revision worksheets play a vital part in ensuring
that children’s handwriting (including punctuation symbols) is legible so that
