Reviewing sentences with capital letters, using lead-ins
I can write a sentence in cursive handwriting, using capital letters correctly.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- A sentence always begins with a capital letter and a proper noun always has a capital letter.
- After forming a capital letter, you need to lift your pencil to start the next part of the word with a lead in.
- The letters all have a lead in and a lead out.
- The pencil does not lift when forming the joins.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters and between the words.
Common misconception
At first, children might find writing a full sentence in cursive overwhelming and forget the correct joins. This would result in the words being joined in a random manner.
Give them time to think about their sentence before starting. Model writing a sentence slowly and thinking out loud about which joins to use. This will encourage the children to do the same.
