REINFORCE FLUENCY AND INDEPENDENCE IN NSW HANDWRITING

Mastering Consistency and Control in Year 2
The Targeting Handwriting NSW Year 2 Student Book by Jane Pinsker builds upon the foundations of Kindergarten and Year 1, guiding students towards greater independence. As children progress in their writing journey, this workbook ensures that their handwriting remains fluent and legible while increasing the complexity of their daily practise. Directly linked to NSW syllabus outcomes, this book helps students:

  • Integrate Spelling and Phonics: Tracing and copying exercises feature words with common phonic elements and high-frequency words from Year 2 spelling lists, reinforcing literacy alongside handwriting.
  • Develop Sentence Mastery: Students progress to tracing and copying full sentences, focusing on consistent spacing and the flow of the NSW Foundation Style.
  • Apply Skills Across the Curriculum: Handwriting practise is integrated with numerals, number words, and punctuation to ensure students can write clearly in all subject areas.
  • Transition to Independence: With a strategic shift in scaffolding, the "Seahorse" guide appears only on specific lines, encouraging students to maintain correct letter height and placement on their own.

With an emphasis on writing for a variety of purposes and audiences, this Student Book ensures that Year 2 students develop the stamina and skill required for more advanced primary school tasks.

This Year 2 edition features:

  • Gradual Scaffolding Removal: Carefully designed pages that slowly reduce visual aids to help students develop a confident, unassisted writing style.
  • Phonic-Based Practise: Targeted word sets that assist in the transition from simple letter formation to fluent word construction.
  • Daily Writing Habits: Engaging activities designed to make handwriting a vital and compelling part of every child's daily communication.
  • Legibility Focus: Clear, structured lessons that prioritise the speed and clarity necessary to become a competent and fluent writer.

The Targeting Handwriting series is the gold standard for NSW classrooms, providing a logical and effective progression for students to master the art of writing.
