HANDWRITING SECTIONThe HANDWRITING SECTION introduces the 26 letter-boxes on the THRASSCHART, the alphabetic sequenceand the correct formation of the lower-case and capital letters.HANDWRITING IS THE KEY TO LITERACYHandwriting is the key to literacy. Handwriting must be an automatic skill allowing the writer to processthoughts as they write, without having to worry about or be distracted by letter formation. Automatic fluentletter construction ensures that the process of spelling and writing is not interrupted by the writer having tofocus on the drawing of a letter. THRASS uses handwriting to introduce and reinforce, in a multisensory way, the letters of the alphabet.The lower-case letters and their capitals are taught together from the very beginning of the process.The lower-case alphabet is the primary form, as it is written and read much more frequently than thecapital form. In some words we change the first lower-case letter to the capital form to let readers knowthat the words are 'Important'.When teaching the letters, it is important that learners refer to the them by name, so that they areidentifiable for the spelling of words.Learners should be encouraged to write words. This forces them to segment phonemes - synthetic phonics,and to establish which letter and letter combinations represent which phonemes - analytic phonics.USING THE HANDWRITING TRACKS ON THE RAPS AND SEQUENCES CDThe THRASS Raps and Sequences CD contains the Lower-case and Capital Handwriting Sequences. Learnerspractise naming and writing the lower-case letters on the Lower-case Formation Sheet and the capital letterson the Capital Formation Sheet. The Name and Overwrite Sheet and the Alphabet Overwriting Sheet may alsobe used for further practice.HOW TO USE THE HANDWRITING SECTIONThe HANDWRITING SECTION is divided into six areas.1. The Letter Formation Instruction Sheet2. Formation Sheets3. Size Sheets4. Overwrite Sheets for use with theRAPS AND SEQUENCES CD5. Letter Find SheetPAPER ANGLEEncourage learners to angle the sheet slightly, taking into considerationwhether they are left or right-handed.AUTOMATICITYHandwriting must be an automatic skill allowing the writer to processthoughts as they write, without having to worry about or be distractedby letter formation. Automatic fluent letter construction ensures thatthe process of spelling and writing is not interrupted by the writerhaving to focus on the drawing of a letter.left-handed right-handedWHY DOES THRASS USE THE SASSOON FONT?THRASS uses the Sassoon Primary Infant font, developed by Dr Rosemary Sassoon. This font was designedfollowing Dr Sassoon's extensive research into the readability of letter shapes. It has been chosen to givelearners a clear visual image of letters for reading. Additionally, it provides a neat print script for handwriting.Sassoon also has developed a cursive script - Sassoon Joined Handwriting.THRASS THRASS HANDWRITING1
PENCIL GRIPCorrect pencil grip will ensure legibility, fluency and pain free handwriting. Poor pencil grip will remain withthe learner for a lifetime and can cause pain, stress and tiredness in the joints and muscles of the fingers andhands, thereby reducing output.The following rhyme should be used at the beginning of every handwriting session to assist learners with correctpencil grip. It should also be used informally as the teacher sees fit.1. Start by holding the pencil horizontally, gripping the non-writing end with theindex finger and thumb of the non-preferred hand. While saying the words, Crocodile,Crocodile, Crocodile snap, bring the index finger and thumb of the preferred handtogether several times in a snapping motion emulating a crocodile’s snapping jaws.As you approach the tip of the pencil place the index finger and thumb into positionapproximately 50mm above the sharpened area as shown in fig 1.PENCIL GRIP RHYMECrocodile, Crocodile, Crocodile snap,Turn it around and lay it on its back.Crawl right up,Come right back,Turn it to the left,2.

The final position should see atripod grip using the pad of the thumb, the side of the middle fingerand the tip of the first finger. See fig 2.Introducing The LettersLetters may be introduced and revised in any order. For example, you could introduce them in alphabetical order;choose letters from the start of names (people, places); or start with those that are formed in a similar way e.g.bletters starting from either the 'a' line or the 'b' line.aExcept for the lower-case 'd' and 'e', the correctstarting point for forming all letters is from thetop. The dot on each letter indicates where tostart each letter and the beginning direction. a b c d e f g h i j k l around.Down,around.Down, up,around,down, up,around,down,around.A B C D E F G H I J K L oss.Down,lift,around,around.Down, ift,around.Down,lift, cross,lift, cross,lift, ss.Down,around,lift,cross.Down,around,up, .Down,around,up, around,up.Down,up.Down,up,down, ,up,down.The Letter Formation Instruction Sheet can ben o p q r s t u v w x y zused for individual or group teaching.The Letter Formation Instruction Sheet is a transcriptof the Lower-case Handwriting Sequence and theN O P Q R S T U V WX Y ZCapital Handwriting Sequence located on the RAPSAND SEQUENCES CD.Learners name the letter, then overwrite the greyletter while saying the instructions.To assist learners in remembering the instructions for forming the letters, only the words, 'around', 'up','down', 'lift', 'cross' and 'dot' have been used.5 FORMATION INSTRUCTION SHEET (Start from the top, except for the lower-case 'd' and 'e')Around,up,down,around.THRASS HANDWRITING THRASS 1.

DICTIONARY SPLITDICTIONARY SPLIT 1Find a dictionary that, when held in both hands, is relatively easy to open and close.Split the dictionary open until you can consistently find, at the firstattempt, words beginning with 'm'. If you do not split at an 'm',look at the lower-case alphabet on the THRASSCHART to determinein which direction your next split should go. Do the same for 'd', 's','a' and 'z'.Look at the lower-case alphabet and choose a letter. See if youcan split the dictionary open to within one letter either side ofyour choice. For example, if you chose 'n', both 'm' and 'o' wouldbe acceptable splits. Choose other letters and do the same.Play Dictionary Split with another person. Take turns to choose a letterfor each other. If you wish to have a game with points, score one pointif a split is within one letter either side of the selection (as indicatedby the first letter of the bold words at the top of the page).The person with the highest number of points after an agreed time orthe first person to reach an agreed number is the winner.With practice, the learner will not need to refer to the lower-casealphabet to determine where to split the dictionary or to judge whether a split has been successful.DICTIONARY SPLIT 2Isolate words that begin with a particular letter, say, ‘s’.
