Use a sharp pencil and sit comfortably. Copy each example onto the lines. Make your letters clear, keep them sitting on the line, and leave a finger space between words. Check capital letters and punctuation when you finish.

Careful copying

Copy each sentence neatly. Notice the letter shapes, spaces and punctuation.

1.Copy this sentence, keeping each word easy to read: The kookaburra laughed from the gum tree.

2.Copy this question. Remember the capital letter and question mark: Where did the little lizard go?

3.Copy this sentence with its exclamation mark: What a bright rainbow!

4.Copy the tricky words carefully, checking the tall letters and the letter order: friendly, playground, beautiful

Punctuation and word spaces

Slow down and give every mark and space its place.

5.Rewrite this sentence with clear spaces between the words: after lunch we played a quiet game

6.Copy this sentence. Make the comma and full stop easy to see: At the market, Layla chose apples, pears and oranges.

7.Copy this sentence, taking care with the numerals: The train leaves at 3:15, so we must arrive by 3 o'clock.
