I can correctly write common exception words in cursive handwriting.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Common exception words do not follow regular spelling or phonics rules.
- Letters in the common exception words will be joined using a range of joins depending on the letters in the word.
- The first letter always has a lead in and the last letter always has a lead out.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters.
- You don't lift your pencil when forming the joins.
Common misconception
Children may lift their pencil in the middle of the letter string to 'dot' the letter i or put the 'cross' on the letter t.
Model to the children that you wait until the end of the letter string before adding the 'cross' or the 'dot'.
