The New Wave Handwriting series helps pupils develop a fluid and legible modern style of cursive handwriting.
Features -
Each book places a major emphasis on a variety of pattern practice
to facilitate the pupil’s acquisition of each letter. Sequence of
letters carefully arranged: At infant level, the Jolly Phonics sequence
for letter introduction is mirrored. From 1st Class on-wards, the
progression is based on clockwise and anticlockwise letter formation,
while diagonal and horizontal joins are carefully introduced.
Red and blue guiding lines are used to help pupils learn letter
sizes and spacing. Emphasis on practice throughout, at the individual
letter level, progressing to words and sentences, finishing in
paragraphs.
Each book contains a variety of separate activities that involve
cross-curricular themes, drawn from areas such as Gaeilge, history,
geography, English and SPHE.
Different animal characters are used in each book – these characters
are used as teaching aids to help pupils learn the body letters, the
head and body letters and the body and tail letters.
