Sloped letters in the style taught in many South Australian schools, in the Playwrite AU SA font. The chart shows all 26 capital and small letters in the Playwrite AU SA font (free, open-licensed, by TypeTogether for Google Fonts), each with a green 1 where the pencil starts, numbered arrows for every stroke and a blue number where the next stroke begins. It is a guide to the shapes, not an official school model: check your school's own handwriting scheme for the details it teaches.

For teachers and parents

What it practises
Letter shapes in one handwriting style, where each letter starts, stroke order and direction
How to use it
Pick the chart for the style your school teaches. Trace each letter with a finger from its green start, following the numbered arrows, then write it.
Time
About 5–10 minutes
