Lesson details
Key learning points
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.
- The words start with a lead in and finish with a lead out.
- The pencil does not lift when forming the join, only after to add the cross to a t or a dot to an i or a j.
- There are four cursive joins.
- The join used depends on which letter is joining to which letter within a letter string.
Common misconception
Some children will lift their pencil before the letter string has completed.
Remind the children that the letters want to hold hands and if they lift their pencil then the connection is broken. Speaking out loud, while modelling, to highlight this will support the children to apply it in their practice.
