Reviewing common exception words, using lead-ins
I can write common exception words using cursive handwriting.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Common exception words do not follow regular spelling or phonics rules.
- Letters in the common exception words will be joined using a range of joins depending on the letters in the word.
- The first letter always has a lead in and the last letter always has a lead out.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters.
- You don't lift your pencil to add the 'cross' for the letter t until the letter string is complete.
Common misconception
Children may tend to forget the lead in for the first letter.
Keep reminding children to say to themselves 'ready, line, go' before starting to ensure they are prompted to start on the baseline with a lead in.
