Item S15627: Primary School pack comprises...
These Primary Type fonts were researched with children and designed specifically for young readers.
Item S104: Sassoon Primary Type
Those learning to read require friendly, easily recognisable letters with adequate descenders and ascenders These ensure a well defined word shape. 'Exit strokes' help clump letters together along the baseline giving unity to words.
Item S105: Sassoon Primary Type Medium
This slightly heavier weight of letter may be used instead of the Regular for smaller text, or on large wall friezes where the thicker line weight is more appropriate.
Item S106: Sassoon Primary Type BoldThis may be better than italic for early readers to provide emphasis within a text. It can also be used as a headline font and is useful for indicating phonic pairs.
Item S400: Sassoon Primary Type Condensed Medium
Ideal for headings, where space is at a premium, but impact is still required, this compact friendly style retains adequate ascenders and descenders that can be lacking in other headline types.
The following fonts are meant for use when teaching handwriting
Item S108 (2 fonts): Sassoon Primary Infant Tracker BChildren can learn and practise the starting point and direction of strokes within this outline font.
Sassoon Primary Infant TrackerWhen they are ready, you can dispense with the dot and arrow. Children enjoy tracking within both outlines with multiple strokes of different coloured pencils.
Item S107 (2 fonts): Sassoon Primary Infant Dotted BDotted B, with its direction arrow, reminds pupils where to start and gives pupils confidence when tracking more closely over the dots. Larger dots mark the pen down points.
Sassoon Primary Infant DottedNext, the Dotted font without the starting arrow can then be used as children become familiar and more acurate with the exercise.
Item S661: Sassoon Primary Infant LineWhen start points are remembered, direction remembered and motor movement is sufficiently refined, pupils are ready to 'copy', rather than tracker over the letters. Words can be set in the Infant Line font and a baseline placed underneath for pupils to write what they see.
Item S101: Sassoon Primary InfantWhen the correct movement of letters is established, this font can be used to produce any exercises required until the children are ready to start learning to join up. Some teachers prefer to set exercises indicating a baseline. We do not, however, provide a font with tramlines as that would dictate a standard size of script. This would always be a disadvatage to those whose natural writing, for whatever reason, is either larger or smaller than the double lines would prescribe.
Item S102: Sassoon Primary Infant MediumProvides emphasis for letters within words or words within sentances. At larger sizes it can be used as a headline font as an alternative to italic.
