Weekly Term Lessons

Overview

Yellowbird Education has joined up with Magic Link to bring this fantastic handwriting course to Fulham and Wandsworth. The Magic Link programme changes writing from messy and illegible to neat and flowing cursive in 30 simple steps.

We offer intensive holiday workshops as well as weekly term lessons. Sessions involve direct work as well as demonstrations on follow-up exercises at home. Homework is set (5-10 mins per day) as regular practise is important in speeding up and achieving goals.  

Parents will be encouraged to reinforce exercises at home in order to achieve maximum potential as quickly as possible. Story writing strategies and comprehension tasks are given once the pupil has reached step 30, which is the final step. This will reinforce writing skills and focus on speed, spelling, presentation and the transfer of writing skills into other situations.

Costs for weekly lessons: Students must first purchase a set of Magic Link Workbooks for £120. This is a one-time purchase. Each one-hour lesson costs £40. The first set of 6 lessons will cost £360 (£120 for workbooks, £240 for 6 lessons).

How it works

First-time students will need to purchase workbooks and six lessons to begin with. You will then have the option to purchase more lessons as needed. 12 lessons are recommended.  (No-shows will still be charged for the missed lesson.)
Suitable for: Weekly lessons are for ages 6 and up.

Intensive Holiday Workshops

Overview

During our Intensive Holiday Handwriting Workshops, students will work through the Magic Link workbooks, learning the techniques and patterns for neat, flowing handwriting. Children will work through the programme with support from their teachers. Guiding each child as to how to hold their pencil, how to form letters and how to join each letter. By the end of the workshop (if staying the full day) most children will have completed the 3 handwriting books and are ready to put their writing in to practice. Children staying half day will likely need continued practice to complete the programme. They can join our weekly lessons or another holiday workshop.

Children will have quick outside breaks each 45-50 minutes and a break for lunch if staying until 2.30pm.

"Booking the handwriting course is the best thing I've ever done for my son. I did not know that he would benefit from the course as much as he has done. The more he writes, the neater his writing becomes!"

Transformational!

"Magic Link Handwriting has absolutely transformed my children’s handwriting. The programme is exceptional; easy to follow and methodical. I have seen outstanding progress in the legibility of my pupils’ writing and their confidence continues to grow as the programme develops. I love the way it ties spelling patterns and word families into each step and I would recommend this to any teacher of any age. Thank you for developing a programme which has unlocked my children’s ability to get their ideas on the page in an easy and speedy way."

This program has worked fantastically.

"For years our son suffered with poor handwriting, and looking back, his school didn’t know how to deal with it. He recently moved to secondary school and he was becoming more anxious, concerned that teachers/examiners wouldn’t be able to read his work. The Magic Link handwriting system has completely transformed his handwriting. Starting with the basics of how to properly hold a pencil/pen (our son is left handed) all the way through to how to produce neat, joined-up writing, this program has worked fantastically for us."
