Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold 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 words from the Year 5/6 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

WRITE FORWARD is a structured six-week handwriting and writing fluency intervention designed specifically for secondary-aged pupils. The intervention provides three short sessions per week, with each session lasting approximately ten to fifteen minutes. It is designed to be practical and easy to deliver by a teacher or teaching assistant, either individually or with a small group. The intervention focuses on developing key handwriting skills, including: Letter formation Letter size and consistency Spacing between letters and words Writing on the line Pencil control Letter joins Writing fluency Writing stamina Applying handwriting skills to academic and everyday writing The intervention uses explicit instruction, repeated practice and regular reflection, gradually moving from foundational handwriting skills towards independent and academic writing. What is included? Pupil Workbook Staff Handbook The pupil workbook provides a complete record of the intervention and includes: Personal pupil details and handwriting goals A baseline handwriting assessment An eighteen-session progress tracker Eighteen structured intervention sessions Short pupil reflections after each session A final handwriting assessment using the same passage as the baseline End-of-intervention reflection Twelve printable handwriting practice sheets Blank lined practice sheets for additional or individual practice Who is it suitable for? WRITE FORWARD is intended for secondary-aged pupils who would benefit from additional support with handwriting, writing fluency or written recording. It may be particularly useful for pupils whose handwriting is difficult to read, inconsistent, slow, tiring or affecting their ability to record their ideas effectively in lessons. The intervention can be used as: A short-term targeted intervention SEND or learning support provision Literacy intervention Additional handwriting practice Individual pupil support Small-group intervention It does not require specialist equipment or lengthy sessions, making it suitable for use within a busy secondary school timetable. Why WRITE FORWARD? Secondary handwriting interventions can be difficult to fit into the school day. WRITE FORWARD has been designed around short, regular sessions that can be delivered consistently without requiring a separate lesson. The intervention also understands that handwriting is not simply about making letters look neat. The wider aim is to help pupils develop handwriting that is usable in real classroom situations, including longer pieces of academic writing, timed tasks and examinations. Eighteen sessions. Six weeks. Three short sessions per week. A clear starting point, structured practice and measurable end point

This yellow handwriting paper gives children clear boundaries for their letter sizes. For year 3 children who struggle, I print this as A3 size so they can get the hang of their letters all sitting within the yellow coloured area. Descenders go below the yellow and ascenders reach above. Over the year, we print the sheets onto A4 paper. Then I use a highlighter pen in the children’s books to allow them to continue to practise their letter formation. I have had some mind blowing results!

I have created this based upon the tortoise letters, giraffe letters and monkey letters idea. Each has it's own section. Hope it is of some use.

Handwriting Reset is a structured, practical handwriting intervention designed for older pupils who need to relearn the foundations of clear, legible writing. This full-year programme focuses on the core skills needed for readable handwriting: letter formation, size, baseline control, spacing and fluency. It is particularly suitable for pupils whose handwriting is difficult to read because letters are poorly formed, bunched together, inconsistently sized or placed incorrectly on the line. The programme is designed for short, manageable 15–30 minute sessions and is ideal for use in 1:1 intervention, SEND support, literacy catch-up, tutoring, inclusion, alternative provision or small-group work. Importantly, the programme does not rely on reading ability. Letter and word activities can be completed as visual copying tasks, making the resource suitable for pupils who may also be receiving separate phonics or literacy intervention. What is included? A complete 36-session handwriting programme Structured across the full school year Detailed teacher guidance Accompanying student workbook Baseline and final handwriting assessments Progress checkpoints Personal target-letter activities Visual handwriting zone support Practical and hands-on activities The programme teaches letter formation, size and height control, baseline awareness, letter spacing, word spacing, fluency and sustained handwriting practice. It also includes pupil reflection and progress review activities. Programme sections: Section 1 — Control Before Letters Section 2 — Curly Letter Family Section 3 — Straight and Down Letters Section 4 — Humps, Stems and Rounded Letters Section 5 — Diagonals and Complete Alphabet Section 6 — Size Control Section 7 — Spacing Control Section 8 — Fluency and Transfer Many handwriting resources are aimed at younger children and can feel inappropriate for older pupils. Handwriting Reset keeps the teaching explicit and highly scaffolded while using a cleaner, more age-appropriate intervention style. The programme breaks handwriting down into manageable physical skills, allowing pupils to build success gradually rather than simply being told to “write more neatly”. It is especially useful for pupils who cannot consistently form lowercase letters, write letters that are difficult to recognise, bunch letters together, struggle with letter size or have poor baseline control. It is also suitable for pupils who mix tall, short and descending letters, need handwriting intervention alongside separate phonics teaching, lack confidence in written work or benefit from highly visual and practical learning. Suitable for: KS2 and KS3 handwriting intervention SEND pupils Dyslexia support Literacy intervention Alternative provision Tutoring 1:1 support Teaching assistants SENCO intervention programmes Home education
