Targeting Handwriting Victoria Year 6 Student Book focuses on develop ing students' own styles, while emphasising fluency and legibility.

The book includes:

• 'Mature' real-world applications, e. g. developing a signature and tips for note taking
• teaching pag es with two sets of copying lines, for reinforcement and extra practice
• a section on calligraphy

The Targeting Handwritin g Years 3-6 Student Books have been designed to make learning cursive ha ndwriting as easy as possible for students. New skills are introduced se quentially, so that students build on skills one by one and aren't calle d on to use skills that haven't been introduced yet.

Wherever pos sible, students copy words underneath models, so that left-handers aren' t disadvantaged, and practice of numerals and punctuation is integrated into the writing activities. The books also encourage and support studen t self-assessment.
