The National Curriculum demands that all children can write in a joined up cursive style.  Attached are examples of the cursive letters and the handwriting paper.

 

Remember - all lower case letters start on the black line. Small letters reach up to the blue line and tall letters are twice the height of the small letters.  Capital letters do not join to the rest of the word.

 

The 'Handwriting 1' 'Handwriting 2' etc, documents each contain a week's worth of sentences for handwriting practise.
