About Playwrite Ísland

The latest edition of the national curriculum, published in 2014, requires that at the end of fourth grade, students must “write all the letters, write clearly and understandably.” Handwriting teaching in Iceland happens during grades 1-3 (6-9 years old), and books by the MMS adhere to a progressive system based on simplified modern italic styles.

According to this system, students should first be introduced to the lowercase letters of Grunnskrift or the initial model.
