BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Three little things to have ready.

Your school style

Not sure? Ask the class teacher which style and stage to use.

Something to write

Start with one name, a familiar word or a short phrase.

Pencil and paper

Have your printer ready, or save the activity as a PDF.

STEP 01

Start free. Make a small start.

Choose Start free to explore a word and handwriting model without an account. Choose a free home or individual teacher workspace, then continue through your learners and adult account. Contact us first if you need a shared school workspace. If your school has already invited you, use its invitation to join the existing workspace.

Start free → Your space → Your learners → Your account
STEP 02

Make one small activity.

Choose the handwriting style used by your school. Enter a familiar name, word or short phrase, and check spelling and capitalisation in the preview.

A name is a lovely place to begin.
STEP 03

Set the support. Watch it together.

Choose tracing, copying or independent writing, then check the line size. Play the formation and try the slower speed or pause control before modelling it with a learner.

One clear movement at a time.
STEP 04

Save, print, and have a go.

To save and manage activities, an adult signs in or completes account and workspace setup when available. Give the activity a recognisable title and save it, then open its print view. Check the A4 preview and print or save as PDF using your browser.

An account-free preview does not save a workspace activity.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN

A next step for your learning space.
