The revised Queensland's Handwriting Made Easy series has been developed using guidelines from The Teaching of Handwriting - A Handbook and The Teaching of Handwriting in Years 4 to 7.
The Workbook themes directly relate to key learning areas in the curriculum and encourage further writing practice and follow-on work in the classroom.
Words, sentences and stories in various text types are modelled, using the Beginner's alphabet and Queensland modern cursive handwriting.
