Handwriting Year 5 and Year 6

Support for pupils in developing handwriting

Are you currently in Years 5 or 6 and need to develop your handwriting? If your school uses the Debbie Hepplewhite handwriting style, then this course might be just what you need! Developing your handwriting is not just about presentation - it is also about freeing up working memory so that you can concentrate on content rather than letter formation. You would be surprised how much of your brain is tied up with the physical production of writing - making it harder to concentrate. If you have an inefficient style, it makes writing slow and frustrating. You might find you run out of steam before you have completed the writing task. Investing in developing your skills will help.

To get better at any skill - you need to complete practise. It will take time, effort and commitment. At first, your handwriting will be better in handwriting sessions and only later will this transfer naturally into your everyday writing.

Ideally, you need to work on the online course for 15 minutes every day. There are video tutorials for every letter and you can pause them, rewind and re-watch the clips as many times as you like. The examples are not always perfect - you can see me learning the new style alongside you. There are cue cards to help you remember how the letters are formed. There are mini challenges to help you write words that contain the target letter. There are review points along the way.

Many children are already experiencing success using this system. I'd love to see examples of your writing before and after the course!
