How can the Handwriting Cat help with handwriting?

The cat really is the perfect animal for handwriting help. Teaching students to use the head, body and tail as a reference for different letter formations is a great way to relate writing to a familiar concept.

Here are some great ideas on how to use the Handwriting Cat!

  • Display on your interactive whiteboard so that students can practise writing letters beside the handwriting cat.
  • Print and laminate a large version of the handwriting cat image and have it on display to refer to during handwriting sessions.
  • Use a set of alphabet practice cards to classify letters, for example, those with tails, just bodies or head/body, and tails.
  • Laminate just one cat practice sheet for individual children to practice writing their letters using whiteboard markers. Reduce these in size as children gain confidence with their handwriting.
  • Laminate the cat practice sheets and add as many blank sheets as you like so as to make a writing line. Use the large version for whole-class modelling, or reduce in size for group or individual handwriting practice.

  • Why can print out your word walls in a much smaller font and then challenge your children to identify the corresponding word on the wall and then have them put it phrazle in their book when they discover it?
