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 ‘Make Handwriting readable in 66 days’ 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 workbook includes writing about conspiracy theories and video game terms.
I hope to see your child join me soon.
Best wishes

An expert occupational therapist designed our online course. It is as effective as in-person lessons. It offers personalised feedback, exercises, and video tutorials. They let your child learn at their own pace.
Traditional lessons do not allow replays of the teaching advice. Your child can rewatch a video at any time. They can complete the 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 the 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 4, we ask your child to set three personal goals for doing our courses. These are constantly reviewed by us.
Most parents see big gains in their child’s handwriting. It’s now 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 the changes. Many children have gone from reluctant to proud writers. We’ve heard that teachers who once suggested typing now praise the writing.
Many parents like that they don’t have to physically print anything. All resources are either online or posted to their child.
Our course doesn’t just teach techniques. It builds habits. It is based on the research that it takes 66 days to change a habit. We use daily exercises that tie back into their schoolwork. The skills learned become second nature. This ensures their long-term use.
Our 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 they go on to join our Get Set Write Club. This is a membership with a subscription box, 2 lessons a month and weekly feedback..
Practice time may vary based on your child’s age and needs. Generally, we say to dedicate 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 forming letters, numbers, and math symbols. Most handwriting techniques work for both types of writers. They do not need to be differentiated.
Yes, we aim to send this to you within 48 hours of you placing the order.
