What is Tasmanian Modern Cursive?
Tasmanian Modern Cursive is the handwriting style used in Tasmanian schools. Children start in Prep with its beginner print letters and later learn to join them.
ChalkBee prints it with Edu TAS Beginner, Google's free font made to match the Tasmanian beginner letters.
How it is usually taught
- Prep to Year 2: beginner print letters on the line.
- Middle primary: joined Tasmanian Modern Cursive.
- Tasmania has updated its handwriting guidance in recent years, so check the current Department for Education, Children and Young People advice and your school's plan.
How to make TAS Modern Cursive practice sheets
- Start with letters in Prep: open the letters sheet and type just the letters you are teaching this week (for example the c-family: c a d g o q), or leave it blank for the whole alphabet.
- Move to words once letters sit on the line: the words sheet takes up to five of your spelling or sight words.
- Copy sentences for spacing and punctuation with the sentences sheet; type your own, one per line.
- Print name tracing for each child in the same style, so the name on their book matches the letters on the wall.
Keep sessions short and frequent: a few minutes of careful letter formation every day does more than one long page a week. Watch where each letter starts, since a wrong starting point is much harder to fix later than untidy letters.
