The fourth join: wl, of, rt, ok
I can correctly form the fourth join.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- The letters all have a lead in and a lead out.
- The fourth join goes from the x-height line up towards the ascender line.
- When joining to the letter t, the join reaches to between the x-height line and the ascender line.
- The pencil does not lift when forming the join.
- When forming the letter f, it has two loops: at the top of the lead in and at the bottom ready for the lead out.
Common misconception
Children will often remember one of the loops for the f but forget the other.
Provide lots of modelling and emphasising that the letter f needs to 'hold hands' with the letter in front and behind it.
