The content standards of writing skills are achieved through learning standards that have been devised carefully throughout primary schooling.
In Level Two, pupils progress to cursive writing of words, phrases and sentences in paragraphs. This is further developed with copy writing activities and gradually pupils are taught guided writing whereby pupils write linear and non-linear texts using appropriate language, form and style.
The use of various media is also encouraged and pupils can create both linear and non-linear texts with guidance as well as work independently.

PENMANSHIP
Penmanship is an essential skill even in our age of
technology.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Although penmanship is rarely taught to primary school pupils anymore -- largely because the rise of technology has
appeared to make its use irrelevant -- educators are finding a connection between learning to write by hand
and learning in general. Children who are taught fluency in handwriting also learn how
to think fluently. Students who are required to produce written assignments actually producing assignments that are
superior both quantitatively and qualitatively than those produced by students who turn in typed assignments
(Newsweek, "The Writing on the Wall").

Cursive Writing• Generally, due to the restrictions of time to teach all
the fundamentals of the language, cursive writing has become a forgotten subject.
• Cursive writing is a beautiful art form that connects the letters with swoops and curls. It is an art form that is unique to each individual student. No two handwritten letters are the same even though each word written is identical.
• Cursive writing speaks about the student’s personality and the type of day they are experiencing.

Why should we keep teaching pupils cursive writing in schools?
Advantages of Learning Cursive Writing
• Cursive is faster than printing .• More efficient for taking notes .• Enables pupils to write faster during
examinations.

In Cursive Writing:
• All letters are slanted.• The letters within words are joined.• The pencil is not lifted from the paper until the
word is finished. (This is the most important point to make)
• Ending strokes are important – not too long or not too short also called connecting strokes. These strokes determine the spacing between words as well as connecting each letter.

Why Learn Spelling?
Good spelling is a fundamental
part of a pupil's literacy development.
25
![Page 26: Latest Kssr Year Four Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cf9a4b550346d033a121af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How to learn spelling?
Teacher can encourage pupils learn their spellings using the 'Look, Cover, Write, Check' Method.
This method encourages the pupil to 'see' and 'hear' the word, and to see for himself if he spelt it right.
26
![Page 27: Latest Kssr Year Four Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cf9a4b550346d033a121af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
'Look, Cover, Write, Check' Method
• Look at a word. • Cover the word. • Visualise the covered word in the mind. • Write the word from memory. • Check what has been written with the uncovered
word. • During their English lessons, pupils should be given
the opportunity to look for patterns in the spelling of words.
27
![Page 28: Latest Kssr Year Four Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cf9a4b550346d033a121af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Other ways to learn spelling • Find words within the word (there's a 'hen' in
'when'!) • Break the word up into smaller parts (Wed + nes +
day = Wednesday) • Break the word up into sounds (th-a-nk) • Make up a silly sentence using the letters (big
elephants cause accidents under small elephants spells 'because')
• Say the word as it is written (like 'knight') • Find a word that rhymes with it: is the spelling the
same? 28

Spelling rules• Help your pupils to learn spelling rules. There will always be exceptions,
but they work most of the time: • Most questions start with 'wh' • i before e except after c • Add 's' for plurals except those that end in 's', 'x', 'z', 'ch' and 'sh', when
you add 'es' • Nouns ending in 'y' change to 'ies' • Use 'ce' for nouns and 'se' for verbs (you advise with advice) • When adding 'ing' or 'ed', double the last consonant after a short vowel
sound (so drop becomes dropping or dropped) • Don't drop the final 'e' when you add 'ly' ('comely'), but do drop it to add
'ing' ('coming')
31
![Page 32: Latest Kssr Year Four Writing](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/55cf9a4b550346d033a121af/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Spelling Tips• You hear with your ear. • The word separate has "a rat" in it (separate). • Donkeys, monkeys - There are keys in donkeys and
monkeys. • The word here is also in its opposite there. • Villain - A villain is one who lives in a villa.
• There is no word in English ending in -full except full.
