Letter forming 'patter'

[Susan Godsland]

Does anyone know of a 'patter' that can be used when forming the letters?

I saw one on the TES EY forum ages ago but can't find it now.

We use Penpals

All the letters are split into Curly caterpillar letters, One armed robot letters, long ladder letters and zig zag monster letters. The children really seem to remember correct letter formation using this scheme

I had a go at making some sheets...with the relevant letters on. Unfortunately I haven't done any zig zag monster ones yet

Thank you for your suggestions, Maltesers.

Your handwriting sheets look excellent and I'll be printing those out.

I noticed lots of other good stuff on your blog too

Thankyou!

You have inspired me to make a sheet for zig zag monster letters now

I have just made some posters for SEN children to help them remember which way b/d go. My daughter helped by allowing me to photograph her hands Also one of the TAs on the HLTA forum asked for something to help a child remember g/y
