We'll help take your child from a 'Give us a clue' Writer to a Clear Letter Writer
1. 'Give us a clue' Writer
Where the letters have been written but they are difficult to identify.
2. Guided Writer
Who starts to form letters in the correct direction using the guide arrows to help them.
3. Growing in Confidence Writer
Who feels more confident about writing all the lowercase letters of the alphabet.
4. Clear Letter Writer
All letters have a clear shape and they can be recognised.
Neat handwriting starts with properly formed letters
It’s easy and obvious to say, but it’s true. Without clear letter formations, writing is unreadable.
Often people look at the end result, that being the letter or letters written. However, it is really important to look at how a letter is formed. Many children unknowingly form letters incorrectly. They may go up when they should go down. Or go clockwise rather than anticlockwise.
I’ve created ‘Letter Better’ to solve this problem. I made 26 easy-to-follow videos. They, along with the letter practice sheets, show how to write every lowercase letter of the alphabet. They are in both the printed and cursive styles. So you can pick the style your child is used to writing in.
Watch the videos with your child. Practice together. You’ll see quick improvement. Don’t let poor letter formation hold your child back from telling us their wonderful ideas.ย

Frequently asked questions
Letter Better simplifies things. It offers a clear way to improve each letter of the alphabet. Our course has 26 videos, one for each letter. You can watch them with your child. These videos show how to form letters in the printed or cursive style. Each letter has a clear starting place.
Not at all! Letter Better is for all parents. It’s user-friendly, no matter their knowledge. The videos give step-by-step guidance. You can learn alongside your child. We focus on parent-child interaction. This makes you a supportive coach, not an expert.
Absolutely! Letter Better aims to fix bad habits in letter formation. Our videos show the correct strokes and shapes for each letter. They provide a visual guide that helps override old habits. You and your child can fix any errors in letter formation by watching and practicing together.
Aim for short, regular practice rather than long, infrequent ones. Start with 5 minutes daily for younger children. Gradually increasing to 10 minutes. This is all dependent on their attention span. Consistency is key. These worksheets can be repeated at any time. Children love animals. They don’t get bored when redoing them.
My child gets bored with handwriting practice. How does Letter Better keep children engaged?
Letter Better makes handwriting practice fun and engaging. Our videos are child-friendly. They have clear advice that kids can follow. We encourage teamwork. You and your child, together, go through the worksheets and videos. This makes it feel less like a chore and more like a shared activity.
Absolutely! We recommend turning Letter Better sessions into a game.
You could have a “letter of the day” challenge. Or create a sticker chart for mastering new letters. We know of one child that loved placing a sticker next to the letters he’d completed. Or, you can use the letters for fun writing activities. For example, have them complete the worksheet letters that spells out their name.
The key is to focus on progress rather than perfection. Our videos aim to inspire you. They help make handwriting practice fun for your child.
