About Playwrite New Zealand

The style of handwriting currently taught in New Zealand is specified in Teaching Handwriting, a Ministry of Education publication, which was originally developed in response to teachers’ requests for guidance on the style of handwriting that should be taught in primary school. Teachers and schools usually create their own resources for handwriting instruction based on the style advocated in this document. It was first released in 1985 and its latest iteration was released in 2025. Teaching Handwriting outlines a progressive handwriting education system that advances from simplified print script to semi-joined cursive writing. The alphabet for earlier education stages is called Playwrite NZ Basic.
