Developed specifically for use on interactive whiteboards, Penpals for Handwriting CD-ROMs provide an exciting and fun way to teach a traditional skill in the contemporary classroom.

Penpals for Handwriting CD-ROMs have been developed as part of the inspirational Penpals for Handwriting scheme from Cambridge University Press.

Main features

• animations of letter formations and key joins
• animated sky writing patterns for practising letters and joining patterns in the air
• video warm-up activities for gross and fine motor skills to prepare pupils for handwriting
• video clips for guidance on correct posture and pencil hold for left- and right- handed pupils
• printable handwriting pattern sheets and copymasters for further practice or homework
• word banks for maximum practice and greater differentiation
• comprehensive teacher's notes to support you in directly teaching handwriting
• The CD-ROMs are ideally used alongside the print materials although they can be used as a stand-alone scheme.
