REINFORCE VICTORIAN MODERN CURSIVE FOUNDATIONS

Building Speed and Confidence in Year 1
The Targeting Handwriting VIC Year 1 Student Book by Jane Pinsker and Susan Young is the essential next step in mastering the Victorian Modern Cursive style. As students begin to write more independently, this workbook provides the structured practise needed to ensure their letter formation is consistent, fluent, and legible. Directly aligned with Victorian curriculum standards, this book helps students:

• Master Letter Precision: Progress through two dedicated pages of tracing, tracking, and independent writing exercises for every letter of the alphabet.
• Develop Capital Letter Fluency: Learn the correct formation for both lower and upper-case letters, including specialised instructions for capitals specifically for left-handers.
• Integrate Literacy and Numeracy: Extend practise to include essential punctuation and numerals 1–10, ensuring all written work is neat and professional.
• Apply Skills to Sentences: Transition from isolated letters to writing simple sentences, helping students understand spacing and the flow of the Victorian script.

Handwriting is a vital, compelling form of communication. By engaging in regular practise three to four times a week, Year 1 students will develop the fine motor skills and muscle memory necessary for lifelong writing success.

This Year 1 edition features:

• Left-Hander Support: Specific guidance for left-handed students to ensure they develop a comfortable and efficient grip when forming capital letters.
• Comprehensive Skill Building: A logical progression that moves from basic letter shapes to full sentence construction.
• Syllabus-Linked Content: Designed to meet Victorian educational outcomes, providing teachers and parents with a reliable, high-quality resource.
• Focus on Legibility: Clear, structured lessons that prioritise the clarity and speed required for a competent writing style.

The Targeting Handwriting series remains the premier choice for Victorian schools, providing the perfect roadmap for students to become fluent and legible writers.
