I'm a bit concerned about DD's handwriting. She's an only so I have nothing to compare it to - would really appreciate some honest opinions.
In foundation they were taught to print their letters and by the end of the year it was nice and legible.
Moving up to year 1 however they've started on cursive and it feels like she's really gone backwards. She's trying hard but not all of it is joined properly so it looks messy but more concerningly, looks like she can't spell (see in photo "place" looking like plane)
I'm going to do some practice with her over half term, focusing on forming letters on the line as well as practising joins. But honestly - is it ok for this stage in year 1? Thanks
