Learn
How producing letters by hand is still important today as it links neural pathways for developing reading and spelling abilities
Understand
How integrating evidence-based handwriting practice into existing programs, not only benefits literacy development but overall student learning
Avoid
The implications of NOT explicitly teaching automated handwriting and the associated risks for a child's confidence and well-being
Boost literacy & numeracy rates through handwriting!
Literacy & numeracy rates are in decline in many countries around the would. Could it be causal or correlational that these statistics seem to coincide with the decline in explicit handwriting instruction and practice to proficiency in many modern curriculums?
Research indicates that developing automated handwriting (ie. correctly forming each letter by memory without copying, tracing nor hesitation) decreases the cognitive load or ‘frees’ up the brain to more easily follow instructions and tend to letter sizing, spacing, grammar, punctuation and spelling etc whilst composing and/or editing.
How does handwriting improve reading & spelling?
Writing letters helps embed or store letter knowledge within the brain for the retrieval process required during reading and spelling, (ie. memories of the letter form,/shape, sound and name) hence it can help improve reading fluency and spelling competency.
I have had the joy of working with children
applying evidence to my clinical practice, as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist for the past 18+yrs.
I look forward to meeting you at this FREE webinar as I am passionate to empower and equip you with the knowledge you need to see how handwriting can help improve your students' literacy abilities and general capacity for learning.

On behalf of your students, thank you so much for registering to attend this event.
I know you will find what you learn so beneficial in helping to give your students the opportunity to improve their handwriting, not only for the sake of their written communication skills per say, but for the role handwriting plays in the development of their overall literacy skills and in optimizing their learning!
