England's Department for Education has recently published its Writing Framework ✍️

This guidance on teaching writing sets out the classroom conditions needed to enable children to become confident, fluent writers, who can share their ideas and find their voice.
Swipe through the images to read some of the key takeaways from the guidance.

One of these takeaways is that it is essential to teach handwriting and spelling as part of initial instruction to ensure that these skills become automatic for children.

The Phonic Books' Dandelion Readers Handwriting Pack teaches children how to form letters correctly from the get-go. Additionally, the sequence of letter forms in the pack mirrors the teaching sequence of sounds introduced in the Dandelion reading series, so children learn how to write letters correctly at the same time as learning about the sounds. It is a great way to link reading, spelling and the correct formation of letters!
