How it works

Select the date of the workshop. Children are registered through the website by booking and paying for the workshop.

The children will receive their own handwriting book on the first day.

On the first day, the teacher will assess each child’s current writing skills by having them complete a ‘before piece.’ This will allow the teacher to observe their pencil grip, everyday writing habits, and letter formation.

Each child will have a unique starting point in their handwriting journey. Over the course of the week, students will learn essential skills such as; proper pencil or pen grip, correct letter formation and placement on the line, techniques for joining letters neatly and consistently, as-well as the importance of presentation.

Once pupils reach the final stage, they will also work on writing strategies to reinforce their writing skills, focusing on speed, spelling, presentation, and applying their handwriting improvements to broader writing tasks.

At the end of the week, after working through the course, the children will create an ‘after piece’ where you’ll be able to see the remarkable progress your child has made in just 5 days. Parents are encouraged to speak to the teacher throughout the week to see how their child is getting on.
