Year 2 Handwriting Workbook (Ages 6-7)

About the Year 2 Handwriting Workbook (Ages 6-7)

If your Year 2 child is ready to move beyond printing and start joining their letters, the Year 2 Handwriting Workbook (Ages 6-7) from CGP offers a clear, step-by-step path to confident cursive. Designed specifically for six- and seven-year-olds, this workbook builds joined-up handwriting skills in a way that feels manageable and fun, giving your child the neat, fluent writing they need for the English National Curriculum and beyond.

The workbook begins with a quick recap of all the letters, then introduces each type of join with clear arrows and starting dots to guide every stroke. Your child traces the join first, then practises it within real words—all laid out with guidelines that make it easy to see where each letter should sit. Break letters and capital letters are covered too, so nothing is missed. At the end, longer sentences and paragraphs let your child put their new skills into action, building stamina and pride in their handwriting. Handy hints at the start keep everything straightforward, so you can support practice at home without confusion.

With consistent, guided practice, your child will develop the muscle memory and confidence to write neatly and quickly. The workbook's friendly layout—complete with colourful illustrations—keeps motivation high, turning handwriting from a chore into a skill they're proud to show off. Because every join is broken down into manageable steps, you'll see steady progress week by week, and your child will feel ready to tackle any writing task with calm assurance.

This workbook is ideal for any Year 2 pupil learning cursive for the first time or needing extra practice to refine their technique. It works equally well as a classroom resource or a home learning tool, and its structured approach means you don't need to be a handwriting expert to support your child's progress.
