Move Write Handwriting Book A (Print) Set

The Move Write handwriting pupil books are developmentally designed to support the introduction of print or cursive handwriting styles, dependent on your learners' developmental needs. Each book is accompanied by a free Prepare to Write pupil book presenting 20 step-by-step drawings that are based on 9 geometric shapes from the Beery test of visual integration.

• A developmentally designed handwriting practice book that supports the introduction of print handwriting.
• Child-led, sensory-rich developmental approach.
• Suitable for whole-class or one-to-one settings with individual learners.
• Whole body Approach to Handwriting programme.
• Includes a pre-writing checklist based on Beery’s Developmental Test of Visual-Integration
• Motor Integration (1989). Research suggests that formal handwriting training should be delayed until the child can successfully copy basic geometric shapes (includ veritcal/horizontal line, a circle, a cross, a right oblique line, a square, a left oblique line, an oblique cross & triangle). For this reason book A provides multiple practice activities for learners to develop competence and confidence in mastering these geometric shapes.
• Suggested letter groupings.

Move Write Book A (Cursive) is a developmentally designed handwriting practice book that supports the introduction of print style handwriting. Research suggests that there are a variety of ways to group letters in relation to the of teaching of handwriting. The approach taken in Move Write Book A follows on from the Move Write: A Whole-body Approach to Handwriting programme. It is a child-led, sensory-rich developmental approach that can be used in the whole-class or in one-to one settings with individual learners. Learners are invited to look carefully at all the letters on the page and to examine the distinguishing features of each letter. This activity is building on the visual discrimination skills developed in the Move Write: A Whole-body Approach to Handwriting programme. In this way, the children themselves will develop their own ideas about letter characteristics and which letters should be grouped together, which will make them more likely to be able to remember how to form the letters correctly. This method is based on Marie Clay’s (1991) work on teaching of letter formation. Building on the sensorimotor focus of Move Write - A Whole-body Approach to Handwriting, a tactile alphabet is included at the beginning of the book. It is suggested that this page is used as the starting point for learners to decide what letters should go together.
