Penpals for Handwriting is a complete handwriting scheme for 3–11 year olds. The Year 2 Penpals for Handwriting Practice Book is designed for guided group work, once the initial handwriting focus has been illustrated using the Year 2 Penpals for Handwriting Interactive resource. In Year 2, the four types of letter join are introduced ('diagonal to ascender', 'diagonal, no ascender', 'horizontal to ascender' and 'horizontal, no ascender').
