It was such a worry that all his bright ideas were going to be lost in his poor handwriting and it would affect his GCSEs.→

Mandy, Mum of Robert

What happened next...

"Robert has just finished his end of year 9 exams and I'm sure that his improvement in his writing is helping with the results coming in 🙂. He did well in his favourite subject (History 83%) and rather surprising to us all in Chemistry (92%). I'm sure practising these skills, expressing his ideas and thinking about readability, have definitely improved. "

The school and his OT says he should ‘use a laptop whenever possible’. I challenged this (again) →

Alice, Mum of A.

What happened next...

"A. has grown in confidence. He's always looked forward to the club. Handwriting was one of the key areas he was ‘blamed’ and shamed about in the early years of school. Now he feels he has achieved his aims. "

"I hear it all the time, you can't teach handwriting to older children. RUBBISH. It is about finding the right person. With the right skills and techniques. Who knows how to capture the attention of a teen."

Sheilagh, founder of Help with Handwriting

Handwriting help page with founder holding out a closed box

Hi, I'm Sheilagh,

My superpower is helping 11–16 year olds feel good about their handwriting again.

I’m an occupational therapist with over 26 years of experience helping children improve their handwriting, build confidence, and feel proud of what they can do.

I’ve given over 4,000 handwriting lessons to students in 17 countries, and I’ve yet to meet a child whose writing couldn’t be helped.

I’ve written two books (yes, real ones – published by actual publishers!), and I’ve been invited to share my expertise on BBC Radio and in The Telegraph.
I even worked as the handwriting advisor for the Peppa Pig series — which still makes me smile.

This club is where I bring everything I know — the science, the fun, the encouragement — to help your child thrive.

Absolutely. Some of our Get Set Writers are home educated (or home schooled if you are using the American term). The club can be used at anytime and anywhere. Meaning handwriting help is at your fingertips. 

Everyone finds it super useful. Not only do they learn how to improve their writing but they feel reassured they are not the only one in the world that finds handwriting tricky at their age.

Some parents chose a combination of handwriting help in the form of lessons and the club. Or the club and a course. Alternatively, others choose personal feedback rather than group feedback. When you go to the checkout you’ll be shown different options.

You can add this at any point. This is done by visiting the club dashboard. Everyone gets their own unique login details, making this an easy add on.

Royal Mail sends and tracks all boxes.

If you join on 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th of the month, your next month’s payment date will be moved to the 21st. This means that way we know how many boxes need shipping the next month. 

No. If you are in the UK and the Channel Islands. Shipping is free.

Yes. If you live elsewhere, we do charge for shipping. It will be very exciting to have you/your child as a club member. Please don’t be put off – we only charge the postage and not the packaging. Furthermore, we have been approved to ship to Europe ad have all our GPSR details in order.

Non UK members:

Welcome, we’d love to have you with us. We have a number of international Get Set Writers. There are group lessons set at different timezones. Allowing your child to join them and gain essential in-person handwriting help. 

At the moment all lessons take place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. They start at 9am and 7pm UK time. You can work out what time that is with you by visiting here.

If you live in Australia, you might be interested to know we’ve have had parents use their child’s NDIS benefit to pay for the club. These parents said the club was OT support under the category of Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living. This is something you have to apply for without our help. 

School Options

Yes, We offer two options:

  1. Buy our handwriting practice workbooks at a reduced cost to Amazon. Find out more.
  2. We provide the club service, with an occupational therapist reviewing the students work. Giving them gold star handwriting help. Find out more.
