How it fits together

A steady progression

English skills grow together. Phonics supports both reading and spelling; good letter formation leads to fluent handwriting; grammar and punctuation give children the tools to shape their own writing.

Each topic page explains the typical progression, offers a ready-to-print sample sheet with suggested answers and links to related skills. For handwriting and writing practice, PaperKind Printables's handwriting and lined paper generators make blank sheets at the right size.
