Targeting Handwriting Victoria Year 4 Student Book focuses on consolidation of joining skills, plus:

• speed loops
• printing for labelling

Students begin to assess their own letter size and spacing, spacing between words and slope. The Targeting Handwriting Years 3-6 Student Books have been designed to make learning cursive handwriting as easy as possible for students. New skills are introduced sequentially, so that students build on skills one by one and aren't called on to use skills that haven't been introduced yet.

Wherever possible, 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 student self-assessment.
