Pioneers Handwriting is a three-level course for primary students, which provides a step-by-step, incremental approach to teaching handwriting.
Level 1 starts with left-to-right hand movement practice, followed by letter recognition and formation exercises, with attention given to both upper and lower case letters.
In levels 2 and 3, learners practise cursive writing, with exercises on how letters are joined in different positions in the word.
Teacher Support
Pioneers Handwriting follows an analytical methodology that teachers will appreciate in regards to writing both new and familiar words. With the structured format of Pioneers Handwriting, students will begin to recognize letters in the word, then learning to read and write words, followed by sentences and, finally, paragraphs.
Teachers will find the series helpful when teaching students how to hold a writing tool, develop fine motor skills, and orient their literacy skills from left to right. This series can also be used in conjunction with textbooks that do not give enough attention to handwriting. It can also be a valuable tool for remedial handwriting practice.
Student Book
Pioneers Handwriting provides scores of practice opportunities to develop fine motor skills and master clear and neat handwriting.
In addition, students will improve reading skills through the “Read and Write” exercises, since writing reinforces and strengthens reading proficiency and comprehension.
