on size, shape and slope of all letters of the alphabet. The first
lesson will introduce the letter of the week and have an
accompanying fluency pattern and an alliteration to reinforce
the letter. The second lesson will be a revision of the letter of
the week in the textbook Handwriting for NSW, Oxford
In Term Four the focus will be on clockwise letters
