Making the right choice this summer
We all know the summer holidays are a challenge. Kids want fun. Parents fear a drop in skills if nothing is done over the hols.
It is true, handwriting skills can deteriorate without practice. Kids can complain that their hands hurt when they go back to writing.
But we do need them to have fun as well. That’s why I created the Summer Holiday Pack. The perfect mix of writing practice and fun. It has three themes: beach, camping, and staycation. Each day, we revisit a key handwriting skill. We teach a new technique to improve it. Kids can self-review their work. Parents get a checklist with helpful next steps.

"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 beforeOur price

Yes. Our workbook boosts kids’ confidence and skills at the start of the school year. Teachers often notice a difference in handwriting. It is better than that of peers who haven’t practiced over the summer.
The workbook needs no help from parents. Most children can do the activities on their own. Parents may need to encourage them a bit and ensure that they finish.
