Looking for a way your child can continue to practice and improve their handwriting without doing any boring worksheets?

You need our:

Handwriting Practice Club - Seniors

with Sheilagh Blyth MSc (Occupational Therapist)

Are you worried that your child's handwriting is deteriorating?

Picture this. Your child starts Year 7 and the demands of school mean that their handwriting has changed. It has lost its neatness and clarity. And you’re beginning to hint that extra care must happen when writing. Year 7 turns into Year 8. And nothing has changed. If anything the writing has become harder to read. The problem is no one is giving your child an opportunity to practice their writing. You know that their writing ability is not lost, they need a reminder on how to get it back to where it was. Yet now you start to worry about what it will be like in Year 9 and above.

That’s where the Help with Handwriting Club helps.

We are dedicated to ensuring your child’s handwriting stays on track. Our expertly crafted programme empowers students to go from uncertain to confident writers. With engaging daily practices and optional group calls offering personalised guidance, we will unleash their potential.

Are you ready to look at your child’s work and feel confident a teacher can read it?

Help release your child's academic potential with our daily writing activities

How are we going to do that?

Every month in our handwriting practice club your child will have access to a new workbook full of different activities.

It uses events in history for that particular date as daily writing prompts. Our smart mind skills section covers the development of executive functioning skills. This includes organisational and planning skills. We take a different core subject every month and cover how to write the keywords for that subject. New how-to videos are added to our vault. Think of this as a library of any question your child might have about handwriting. Lastly, but importantly, we have two Zoom calls a month. One to set our monthly handwriting goals and one to review the progress of these goals.

All of this is designed to keep the momentum and handwriting progress going. It is our use or loose it approach. A place where you can your child can continue to feel proud of their handwriting.

But wait...are you thinking that asking your child to do a months worth of daily writing practice is a big ask?

Do not worry, we are not expecting every page to done. We know that home life, school life and homework matters too.

What makes the club’s content different is that it asks everyday questions inspired by historical events. The difficulty we had was knowing what days would be suitable to you. And these may not be the best days for another student. Hence we came up with the only solution possible…to provide a writing activity for everyday in the month. It is up to your child to dip in and out of it. We will not be policing it. Yet the more they do it, the better their writing will become.

We've helped many parents like you.

Those who have concerns about their child’s handwriting. Fearing that old habits of messy writing will reappear. Wanting to ensure poor handwriting does not lead to self doubt. Or a reluctance to engage in written tasks that might hinder academic performance.

"He's already done his writing before I ask him."

He has enjoyed the Keepy Uppy Course (name for our Handwriting Practice Club – Seniors) and has already done his writing for the day before I ask him, it’s amazing seeing him take responsibility over improving his writing himself.

We really can’t thank you enough for your kind words and support, it’s been such a positive experience, thank you so much.

(Jodie and Glenn)

Hi I would like to say that I really enjoyed your course and the zoom calls I think this has made a very positive impact on my writing because most people can actually read it now. Cory

"My son loves the Club."

Thanks so much for all you do, my son loves the Club and it is so helpful to have the lovely resources you provide. His school and the occupational therapist at his school try to persuade him to type. Luckily, with all the info he has from you, my son knows that this is not his only route.” Alice, Mum of Arthur aged 11.

This handwriting practice club is for those students who:

Actively wish to improve their handwriting, knowing that it will positively impact their performance at school.
Like the idea of daily bite sized writing activities that change regularly,
Would like to quickly access "how-to" videos, offering immediate solutions to their questions.
Feel reassured knowing they are not alone in their struggles with writing. Are eager to boost their confidence back into the classroom.
Designed for students aged 11 to 16, ensuring that the activities and content are age-appropriate

We asked one of the clubs members to tell us about it

And this is what was made! This amazing student chose to show us his handwriting. Next, he formatted the video and added the music himself – a massive thank you.

"The content is very engaging and helpful."

“I have been through several months of material and found the content very engaging and helpful. Good handwriting has many uses. I don’t think people realise how valuable the skill is. I am explaining basic principles to my son, whose chief problem is letter heights. I have found it even more useful for myself, since I have been writing letters to kids in hospital through a charity called Post Pals. I have dyslexia so my handwriting is truly appalling. With your guidance at least it is now largely legible.” Annabel, Mum of a club member.

"The students feel they are in control of their own improvement."

“I have been using the booklet with years 7, 8 and 9. I have seen an improvement in their handwriting. The students feel they are in control of their own improvement as they open the booklet and write – they don’t need me to tell them what to do. The only bit that would require my input would be in the mini-reviews to praise their achievement and make suggestions for further improvements.” Mrs Patterson, Senco at Chalkhills Academy, Shared Learning Trust.
