The Write From The Start programme is an invaluable resource designed to support children aged 4 years and older in developing fluent and legible handwriting. Recognising the crucial role of handwriting in the revised National Curriculum and its impact on educational attainment, this programme addresses the complex motor, perceptual, and cognitive skills required, which often need explicit teaching and practice.

Unlike conventional methods, Write From The Start offers a unique and effective approach, guiding children through essential stages of perceptual and fine motor development. This process lays the groundwork for confident, precise handwriting and is proven effective across diverse educational settings and with children of varying needs.

The programme features over 400 meticulously graded activities aimed at strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the hand, enabling children to master letter formation and spatial awareness. Essential perceptual skills covered include:

  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Form constancy
  • Spatial organisation
  • Figure-ground discrimination
  • Orientation
  • Laterality

This structured programme is divided into 8 sections, each accompanied by photocopiable exercise sheets that can be compiled into booklets. These booklets are ideal for continuous progress monitoring by teachers, pupils, and parents alike.

The set includes 3 A4 workbooks: Workbook 1 (120 pages), Workbook 2 (136 pages), and a comprehensive Teacher's Handbook (20 pages). With its targeted exercises and supportive materials, Write From The Start makes the handwriting journey constructive and engaging for both children and educators.

  • Comprehensive Curriculum Alignment: Designed to enhance handwriting proficiency in alignment with the National Curriculum, aiding educators in meeting essential educational targets.
  • Addresses Diverse Learner Needs: Especially beneficial for students with dyspraxia and other motor skill challenges, ensuring inclusivity in learning and participation.
  • Engaging and Progressive Activities: Over 400 carefully graded activities offer a step-by-step approach, engaging students in developing precise motor and perceptual skills required for effective handwriting.
  • Clear Progress Tracking: The ability to create booklets from photocopiable sheets allows for easy progress monitoring, helping teachers and parents to track development and celebrate achievements.
  • Teacher Support Material: Comes with a comprehensive Teacher's Handbook to guide educators in effectively implementing the programme at every stage.
  • Handwriting Fluency: Enables students to produce fluent, legible handwriting, crucial for academic success across various subjects.
  • Enhanced Motor Skills: Develops intrinsic hand muscles for better control and accuracy in letter formation and spacing.
  • Improved Perceptual Skills: Enhances hand-eye coordination, spatial organisation, and other perceptual abilities critical for written communication.
  • Building Independence: Encourages self-regulation and independence in learning through progressive skill acquisition.
  • Consistent Practice: Incorporate daily or weekly practice sessions to develop skills gradually and effectively.
  • Integrate with Existing Curriculum: Use the programme alongside current lesson plans to enrich your handwriting curriculum without overwhelming students.
  • Monitor and Encourage Progress: Regularly review and provide positive feedback to motivate students and highlight areas for improvement.
  • Utilise Teacher's Handbook: Use the handbook to its full potential, accessing tips and insights for optimising instruction and differentiation.
