Bubble writing - cursive word bank Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting. Included is a PowerPoint presentation including the days of the week, months of the year and the seasons. It is suggested that this resource is used alongside the full pack for the relevant Key Stage available from my TES store.

Work sheet that is has two options of differentiation. Comes with an answer sheet specifically for the foundation sheet, but can be used for higher.
