What’s Little Wandle Handwriting for Year 1?

Building on the success of Little Wandle Handwriting for Reception, our Year 1 content helps children to develop fluent and legible handwriting through:

• A clear approach
• Consistent routines
• Plenty of practice
• Brand-new mnemonics for teaching accurate digit and punctuation formation

You’ll find Resources and Planning plus Assessment and additional practice in the Handwriting area of our website.

Here’s what to do first:

• Read our introductory FAQs blog which includes advice about the three must-read documents before you start teaching.
• Warm up your vocal chords for the ‘Ready to write’ rhyme (sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)! Or, alternatively, let our video or audio-only files do the musical heavy lifting. You can also download a lyric sheet from the same link.
