At GHS we encourage teachers to use a systematic approach to handwriting using Casey Caterpillar and GT Handwriting Books. We aim to have 50-100 minutes per week of structured handwriting instruction in Years 1-2.

GHS Handwriting  Scope and Sequence

Year 1 Handwriting Assessment

Year 2 Handwriting Assessment 

Casey Caterpillar is the explicit handwriting programme we use at GHS. Handwriting fluency is a strong predictor of long-term writing outcomes. Daily handwriting opportunities are non-negotiable at GHS in Year 1-2.
