It's time for some September handwriting ideas.
Well it’s official, school is back everywhere.
You’re busy checking to see if uniforms fit, buying last-minute pencil cases and dusting off your child’s books, just like every September. In your child’s school, teachers are wondering what their pupils remember after the summer holidays. You, as a parent, are taking a silent sigh of relief as a normal routine resumes. Normality is reassuring you… even if it means a return to the headaches of handwriting issues.
Help your child get ahead of the game by running through some of these handwriting ideas with them. Each activity takes a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Keep your child’s handwriting practice regular and fun with these short activities.
