From Printing to Joined Writing in Year 3

Targeting Handwriting NSW Year 3 Student Book by Jane Pinsker guides Year 3 students through the move from printing to joined NSW Foundation Style writing.

The book introduces the three join types, diagonal, drop-in and horizontal, and uses letters with entry and exit strokes as a bridge into cursive. Students also learn the Foundation Style rules about which letters stay unjoined. Tracing and tracking exercises repeat each movement so joins become automatic, and the layout is linked to NSW syllabus requirements.

Join lessons follow a systematic order, and scaffolded tracing gradually gives way to independent writing as confidence grows. Daily writing tasks for different audiences keep handwriting connected to real communication, which helps students apply new joins in their everyday classwork.

The Targeting Handwriting series follows a sequence of student books that runs from one year level to the next. Teachers preparing Year 3 literacy resources can add this workbook alongside educational books, activity books and writing supplies available from Mega Office Supplies.
