Reviews
We introduced the handwriting workbooks last year and they have been a great success. The children enjoy them and take pride in their work, looking forward to their weekly handwriting sessions. As a teacher, I find the workbooks provide an excellent resource for teaching handwriting. Working through the workbooks has enabled progression throughout the year groups. I definitely recommend these workbooks Jenny Merrison - Year 2 teacher - Christian Fellowship School (June 2020); Our son was really struggling with his handwriting at the end of Year 3. It had taken him sometime to be ready to start to learn as he is an August born child and lacked a strong hand dominance - naturally he will pick up a pen in his left hand but uses scissors and plays sport right handed. School interventions had helped but I felt we needed a structured plan for him to work through at home. I was thrilled to come across Morrells Handwriting - Sue gave me some great advice and we worked our way through firstly the letter formation books and then the joined up books. A year later our son's writing is transformed and his school life is so much easier now that he can write down answers without struggling. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Morrells Handwriting resources to anyone whose child needed help with their handwriting. Jenny, Parent - 2019
