The Targeting Handwriting program is the only Foundation handwriting program that supports teachers with a resource book for each year in Lower Primary. The books provide information regarding stages of development and common problems relevant to the age group. There is a teacher guide to accompany each level – Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2. Years 3–6 are combined into one teacher guide.

Features include:

• information on the mechanics of writing, e. g. posture, pencil grip and paper position
• an 8 week day-by-day Fine Motor Skills Program for Kindergarten
• templates of fun props to make for demonstrating handwriting patterns
• over 100 blackline masters for extra practice of each letter
• specific teaching notes on all the different joins
• a troubleshooting chart to help you identify and remedy handwriting difficulties
• direct links to the NSW syllabus with indicators checklists
