A Few Of The Club Success Stories...

Parents love the Get Set Write Club

"Rosie has enjoyed the club and her handwriting is unrecognisable from where we started. Her teachers are so pleased."

"He's really pleased with the his box which arrived today and enjoyed the lesson last week."

"This has been so helpful and has given Finn some confidence back. It's definitely refocused him and made him think about self improvements."

"I believe my son benefits lots from you as he is always willing and happy to do his handwriting to send you. He also loves your boxes and the surprises 😅"

"Reuben's writing is completely different from when he first started and when I asked for his feedback he said it's 'really helped to make it neater.' I thought the materials you sent monthly were very high quality too."

"Thank you once again for your help and advice to him in your Feedback Friday videos, they were a great help to him. I am sure he will continue to heed your advice and try to improve his writing on his journey to adulthood."

Handwriting guidance from a real OT. Research – backed, never AI.

Hi and welcome

I’m a children’s occupational therapist and a handwriting expert. I created Get Set Write™ because there was nothing on the market for this age group. Everything was for younger children — and let’s face it, no teen in their right mind would want to do those worksheets!

I wanted something that would actually engage 11–14 year olds. Everything in the club focuses on small, steady changes that make writing feel easier — and confidence grow naturally.

I hope to see your child in the club soon.

Best wishes

Sheilagh

"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

Frequently Asked Questions by Parents & Schools

When can we start?

Instantly when the club is open. You do not need to wait until your box arrives to start. Once the checkout process has been completed you’ll get a welcome email. This means you can download and print the PDF worksheets to start straight away. You’re welcome to join the group calls, submit work and watch the group feedback videos. Handwriting help starts as soon as you are a member.

The club boxes are posted out ready to start on the 1st of the month.

Do you continue during the school holidays?

Yes, this handwriting club continues through the whole year. The only time a break is taken is if it is a bank holiday e.g. on Good Friday, there is no Feedback Friday video.

We home educate, is this suitable for us?

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.

I think my child needs more 1:1 support than this, can we do both?

Yes. As a club member you get 10% discount on any usual priced lessons. Links to buy lessons at a reduced rate is in the club hub parent section.

Located outside the UK, and want to join?

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.

Unfortunately we do not ship to any country in the EU.

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.

When will my box ship?

All boxes are shipped ready to start on the 1st of the next month.

If you are outside the UK, your box will be shipped on the 20th of the month. Cut off date for that box is the 18th.
If you are in the UK and Channel Islands your boxes will go out on the 25th of the month. Cut off date for that box is the 21st. (In December, current members boxes will be shipped earlier due to the Christmas post).

Royal Mail sends and tracks all boxes.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel at any time. Access to the club and all its contents (group lessons, feedback on work, monthly resource box) will continue until the end of your payment period.

3 days before any renewal, you’ll receive an email reminder. We’ll never charge you without notice.

"Good handwriting doesn’t just happen — it’s built through the right tools, regular practice, and the right kind of support. That’s what the Get Set Write™ Club is all about."
