ESTABLISH THE FOUNDATIONS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MODERN CURSIVE

A Fun and Inviting Start for Beginner Writers
The Targeting Handwriting WA Pre-Primary Student Book by Jane Pinsker and Susan Young is designed with well-spaced, uncluttered pages perfect for students just starting their writing journey. Aligned with the Western Australian Strand Outcome Statements, this workbook introduces the basic movements of handwriting in a clear and structured way. By focusing on fine motor development and letter positioning, this book helps students:

• Master Pre-Writing Patterns: Build the essential motor skills and muscle memory required for letter formation through engaging patterning exercises.
• Understand Letter Placement: Utilise the friendly "Seahorse" character to learn exactly how letters sit within lines, ensuring consistent sizing from the very beginning.
• Learn Through Visual Aids: Benefit from letters cleverly integrated into illustrations, serving as a powerful memory aid for early learners.
• Perfect Letter Construction: Follow highlighted stroke sequences that show the exact number of movements required to form each letter correctly.

Handwriting is a vital, compelling form of communication. By engaging in regular practise three to four times a week, Pre-Primary students develop the foundational habits necessary to become fluent and legible writers.

This Pre-Primary edition features:

• Extended Letter Practise: Each letter is explored over two full pages of tracing and tracking exercises to ensure deep familiarity and confidence.
• Ergonomic Support: Includes a handy reference for correct pencil grip and paper position, helping students avoid fatigue and develop healthy writing postures.
• Vibrant Learning Tools: Features a fun and colourful alphabet to keep students engaged and provide a constant point of reference.
• Syllabus-Linked Content: Specifically tailored to WA curriculum requirements, providing teachers and parents with a reliable framework for early literacy.

The Targeting Handwriting series is the trusted choice for Western Australian schools, providing a professional and effective start to the WA Modern Cursive style.
