Handwriting Practice (Letter Direction) for the Resistant Hand Writer

Target: Year 3
Group: Pupils struggling with keeping letters the correct way round
Background to resource: This resource was developed to help my son in Year 3 with his handwriting. He saw handwriting as a 'chore' and when tired, he would put letters facing in the wrong direction. We named the groups of letters that he commonly got wrong, and discussed them in terms of facing towards the left hand (gdqy) and the right-hand (bkpts), and then he practised using my guide. His letters generally face in the correct direction now, so I hope this resource can help other teachers too.
