Letter Formation Practice
Help Finn and Anahera prepare a handwritten message for their Matariki celebration. Write with clear, consistent letter shapes, even spacing and correct capitals. Use the writing space provided.
Notice and choose
Look closely at letter shapes and capitalisation before you start writing.
1.Finn is writing a place name on a celebration card. Which version uses capital letters correctly?
- new zealand
- New Zealand
- NEW zealand
- New zealand
2.In these lowercase letters — b, g, d, p — which two have ascenders (strokes rising above the x-height)?
3.Anahera has written three versions of a sentence for the card. Choose the one with correct capitals.
- we will share stories under the stars.
- We will share stories under the stars.
- We will share Stories under the stars.
4.True or false: In neat handwriting, the lowercase letters in a word should sit on the same baseline, apart from letters with descenders such as g, j, p, q and y.
TrueFalse
Practise clear letter shapes
Write slowly at first. Keep letters recognisable, similar in size and evenly spaced.
5.Practise each lowercase–capital pair three times, keeping the lowercase and capital forms distinct: s / S, m / M, h / H.
6.Rewrite this Matariki message with correct capitals and punctuation: “dear anahera, may your year be full of joy”
7.Copy this sentence in clear handwriting. Keep the letters evenly sized and leave spaces between words: “The stars shine above us.”
8.Write a short Matariki greeting of 6–10 words. Use at least one capital letter and finish with suitable punctuation.
9.Finn notices that the words in his message run together. Name one change he can make so each word is easier to read.
10.Write your own neat version of this sentence, then check that every letter sits clearly on the line: “We remember and celebrate together.”
