Event information
This online training course is aimed to help Teachers and school staff understand how to start, develop and accelerate children’s handwriting skills.
During the session, we will start by focusing on the prewriting and writing development from infancy to school aged children including identifying handwriting readiness and pencil grasp progression. We will provide guidance on correct posture and support on the best order to teach letters and letter groups. We will provide strategies which can support handwriting difficulties and cover important skills such as fine motor skills, pencil grip, letter positioning, letter formation, letter placement and sizing. We will also explore the use of touch typing and discuss the benefits of this.
