Teaching letters and image association. Colourful and fun way to learn letters. Hand-drawn and used with pre-school son.

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.
