Helping 11 to 14 years write more clearly, faster, and with confidence.
Handwriting guidance from a real OT. Research – backed, never AI.
I’m a children’s occupational therapist and a handwriting expert. I created the ’66 day 66 Day Readable Handwriting Challenge’ because not everyone learns best by having a set lesson. Some like to watch a video, learn and practice in their own time. Everything I saw on the market was for younger children — and was not age appropriate.
I wanted something that 11–14 year olds would want to do. Hence why I created something for them. My 66-Day Skills Workbook includes writing about conspiracy theories and video game terms. Somethign most teens are interested to write about.
I hope to see your child join me soon.
Best wishes

An expert occupational therapist I designed this course knowing what this age group needs. It is as effective as in-person lessons. I offer personalised feedback, writing activities, and video tutorials. Your child can learn at their own pace but they are never left alone to guess what they should be doing next.
Traditional lessons do not allow replays of the teaching advice. Your child can rewatch 66 Daily Video Lessons at any time after they have been released. They can complete the 66-Day Skills Workbook at a time that suits them. Writing every day lets them build their skills. It’s better than a burst of writing and improving in a lesson when the OT is present.
We call this course a “little and often” approach to improving and having readable handwriting. It is always available at a time that works for your child. Unlike traditional methods where they have to turn up at a specific time.
There are two reasons why our course is so special. Firstly, your child is not abandoned to improve on their own. Secondly, it is on a gaming-style platform. As more work is done, points, badges, and hidden Easter eggs are awarded.
Every result is different. On Day 6, I ask your child to set three personal goals for doing our courses. These are constantly reviewed by myself.
Most parents see big gains in their child’s handwriting. It’s more legible, faster, and their child is more confident. You can expect to see clearer letter formation, better spacing, improved alignment, and more consistent readable handwriting.
Parents say their kids’ schoolwork is more legible. This has led to better grades and more confidence. We’ve seen this happen many times. Often children have gone from being reluctant writers to secret proud writers. I hear that teachers who once suggested typing now praise that student’s writing.
Many parents like that they don’t have to physically print anything. All resources are either online or posted to their child. Some parents chose to watch the daily videos with their child because they too learn new techniques and skills.
My course doesn’t just teach techniques. It builds habits. It is based on the research that it takes 66 days to change a habit. I use daily exercises that tie back into their schoolwork. The skills learned here become second nature to them. This ensures their long-term use.
My goal is to provide your child with all the support they need for lasting results for readable handwriting.
Those students that wish to continue practising go on to join our Get Set Write® Club. This is a monthly membership with:
Practice time may vary based on your child’s age and needs. Generally, I say to allow around 10 to 15 minutes of focused practice each day. This is after they have watched a 5 minute training video. Consistency is the key as it will yield the best results and readable handwriting.
Yes. The course has advice for left-handed writers. It covers choosing the pen best, forming letters, numbers, math symbols and angling the paper. These are the main difference for left handed writers.
Yes, I aim to send this to you within 48 – 72 hours of you placing the order. Your child will have everything they need ready to start on the first day.
Yes, I offer individual handwriting lessons. These happen online and last for 45 minutes in length. They are a great way for instant progress to be made. I recommend practice happens in between the lessons for the new skills to be embedded.
I am really sorry but no. Due to EU VAT rules I have made the difficult decision not to offer this service to anyone living in the EU.
