Read Write Inc Handwriting Phrases and Practise Sheets

The children in Reception and Year 1 practise handwriting as part of our daily Read Write Inc phonics sessions. We hope that you find this copy of the ‘Read Write Inc Letter Formation Phrases’ helpful if your child wishes to practise their handwriting at home. If you notice your child finding it tricky to recall how to form some of their letters or are, for example, forming letters back to front, remind them of these phrases to help them with the correct formation.
