KSSR Curriculum Content

Writing

The learning standards for writing begin with pre-writing skills, which

addresses penmanship, the formation of letters, words as well as numbers in

clear print. Specific learning standards are attributed to penmanship so that

even from a young age, pupils are taught good writing habits. Special

attention should be given in order to strengthen the muscles of the hand,develop visual skills, enhance gross and fine motor skills as well as develop

hand-eye coordination to help pupils acquire penmanship. Correct formation

of letters of the alphabet is important in order to help pupils write neatly and

later write words, phrases and sentences legibly. By the end of Year 2, pupils

will master the mechanics of writing and then learn to write at word, phrase

and sentence levels. Specific writing activities devised during lessons will

enable pupils to begin writing for a purpose as stipulated in the learning

standard.
