Reviewing proper nouns, no lead-ins
I can correctly use capital letters and cursive handwriting when writing proper nouns.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Proper nouns name specific people, places and things.
- After forming a capital letter, you lift your pencil and place it on the correct starting point for the next letter.
- Capital letters do not join to the next letter, they sit on their own.
- The remaining letters in the proper noun will be joined using a range of joins depending on the letters in the word.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters.
Common misconception
Once children start joining words they can forget the correct way to join the letters and just join them in a random manner.
Let them look at the word first and identify how the letters join, then practise and get them to self-assess their joins. Encourage them to identify any mistakes so they can learn from these.
