Standard 1: Reading Foundations

Students should form letters in print legibly and with automaticity.
-
When students are learning cursive, they need direct instruction in connecting letters within words.
-
Students are introduced to cursive in third grade and work on forming letters correctly.
-
Handwriting practice should include opportunities to practice writing letters in words and sentences.
-
By third grade, students should use correct spacing with automaticity between letters, words, and sentences.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
