Lesson details
Key learning points
- Information in a non-chronological report is organised using a title, subheadings and paragraphs.
- The subheadings start with a capital letter and are underlined.
- The capital letter does not join to the next letter in the letter string.
- The joins used depend on which letter is joining to which letter.
- The letter formation and letter spacing is accurate to ensure the writing is legible.
Keywords

Common misconception
As children start to write longer paragraphs in cursive handwriting their hands can get sore which can lead to them making mistakes.
Model to the children that it is good practice to take a break when writing to stretch your hand if it is becoming sore.
