Year 4 Handwriting Assessment

Complete the handwriting challenges. Take care with letter shape, size, spacing and where letters sit on the line. Work at a steady pace; neatness matters more than rushing.

Warm-up: Letter Patterns

Write each pattern neatly on the lines. Keep letters the same height and leave clear spaces between groups.

1.Copy each pattern carefully: m n m n u v u v a e a e

2.Copy this sentence in your neatest handwriting: The silver fern curled beside the quiet stream.

The Lost Lunchbox

Read the note, then complete the writing challenges. Imagine you are helping return a lunchbox at the park.

3.Copy the note in your best handwriting: “I found this lunchbox under the pōhutukawa tree. Please ask at the park office.” Keep the macron in pōhutukawa and copy the punctuation.

4.Write a two-sentence message to help the owner identify the lunchbox. Include one detail about its colour or sticker. Use tidy letter formation and leave a clear space between words.

Check Your Handwriting

Look over your work. Use the checklist to notice what is already strong and what you will practise next.

5.Circle the feature you focused on most today: letter formation / neatness / consistent size and spacing / letters sitting on the line / steady pace.

6.Choose one sentence you wrote. Copy it again below, aiming to improve one feature from the checklist. Then name the feature you improved.
