Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold
Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.
Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 1/2 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

Bought this just for bigger bubbles - should have read the other reviews as there are none, so wasted my money :(
I thought this will come up with bigger bubbles but it doesn't, same bubble size than LKS2, which I already have. The author offered the yellow bubbles to see if those would be a better fit for my children and they are. I haven't seen improvement on handwriting yet, but we only just started. The children are interested and it's a good start.
Seems like a great idea however downloading the powerpoint wasn't straight forward. My download has lots of blocks of colour on each slide and when converted to google slides has no writing.
Looking forward to trying this with children for whom the usual handwriting paper with lines is confusing. In the KS1 cursive PPT (Bubble-Writing---KS1-Handwriting-Scaffold-Starter-Pack---Cursive) the letter w page has a strange way to join - with the join coming from the baseline. The join for w in Bubble-Writing---Handwriting-Scaffold-5627.ppt seems much better.
Great resource, kids love it! Need to keep using to see improvement within my class. Only one question, how do you photocopy to remove the bubbles?
