Washing line patterns cursive patterning practice

Making flowing movements, making shapes the same size, writing ascenders and descenders correctly (and the correct relative size) and sitting shapes on the writing line... Getting the hang of joined-up writing is a slow and painstaking process! Help your child practise the movements needed with our cursive patterning worksheets, developed with the National Handwriting Association.

First patterns, letters or joined-up... whatever stage of handwriting your child is at, help them improve and boost their confidence with our Handwriting Learning Journey worksheets.

For information about how handwriting is taught in school and what you can do to support your child at home read our handwriting advice features.
