Drawing on the importance of developing good writing habits, this book gives lots of practice, moving in a steady progression from the most basic skills to more structured writing techniques. From September 1995, cursive writing will be a major requirement for the English Curriculum at KS1. Eight pages of tracing paper are included for extra practice. The "Parent point" on every spread explains the purpose of each activity at the point at which the child does the exercise. There is a "Skills checklist" at the back of the book. The book offers guidelines for left-handed children. Use of lively characters (Mrs Stops the plumber, Captain Boast the sailor, Mr bang the builder, Mr Breeze the beekeeper) are an aid to reading and writing skills, and provide an enjoyable and practical context in which to practise.
