Their handwriting is neat and precise, demonstrating progress and continuity. The other child seems a bit overwhelmed, struggling to regain their rhythm. Their handwriting is messy, reflecting a temporary setback due to the summer break.
This is where our 'Summer Handwriting Pack' will help.

"Much more engaging, and targeted, than the traditional handwriting practice books."
The summer handwriting pack was a great way for my 9 year old son to keep his new skills fresh over the break and fun enough for him not to feel as though it was a chore. I was really impressed with the variety of different exercises Sheilagh had come up with, which were much more engaging, and targeted, than the traditional handwriting practice books we had tried and failed to complete before (Amy, Mum of Walt, age 9)
