Handwriting similar letters - u y v w

What’s included?

This download includes x2 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters u, y, v, w.

What's it for?

These resources have been designed to practise handwriting letters according to their letter shapes as there can be a sense of confusion for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters which are similar in shape.

Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

Resource details

These letters are all written in a similar way, starting at the top.

The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.

This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.

Letters are grouped into pairs - u/y, and v/w.

There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.

All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.
