How to use this worksheet

  • 1b and d look alike but start in different places. Practise the start, not the finished shape.
  • 2Say the start out loud each time (“bat first, then the ball” for b). Children who say it while writing reverse less.
  • 3Short and often works better than one long session: one row a day is enough.
