Comprising eleven pupil books and one accompanying teacher’s handbook, Schofield & Sims WriteWell is a complete course designed to guide children from their first steps in mark-making towards the development of secure, fluent and comfortable joined handwriting that can be adapted for a range of purposes.Handwriting is a complex process that requires the simultaneous use of cognitive, physical and perceptual skills. As development can vary greatly from child to child, Schofield & Sims WriteWell splits learning into manageable modules, offering you the flexibility to select the appropriate book for your child’s needs. Young writers can then move through the programme at their own pace as their handwriting skills flourish – a highly personalised approach that ensures a confident foundation for every child. Each pupil book provides:

 

• 15 units, together with a child-friendly introduction and at least one longer WriteWell challenge task
• focused practise activities that gradually increase in difficulty
• activities that encourage children to use handwriting in a realistic context.In WriteWell 5: Letter Size and Position, handwriting lines are used to teach relative letter size. Children also learn to position and space writing on the baseline. A separate accompanying teacher’s handbook, WriteWell Teacher’s Handbook (ISBN 9780721716442), mirrors the structure of the pupil books and contains detailed teaching notes and photocopiable resources to help support the teaching of handwriting. A selection of free online resources is also available from the Schofield & Sims website.
