See what's possible with the right advice
Helping 11 to 14 years write more clearly, faster, and with confidence.
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."
