Are you a proactive school looking for a single but effective framework for achieving the early years standards for handwriting? Then look no further, the Hemispheres Think Write Programme has a proven track record as being an effective, child friendly programme that is easily delivered in the classroom, and can bring ‘fun back into teaching handwriting’ whilst also enabling 96% of children to leave Year 2 with joined up writing that is fluent.
Children need explicit instruction to achieve legible and fluent handwriting. Having a consistent approach to the teaching of handwriting throughout the Early Years is essential. The Hemispheres Think Write joined up programme is a tool that can offer that consistency, with stages of development that progress as children transition from Nursery to Year 2, developing and building the relationship between handwriting and the ability to express thoughts and ideas on paper. We all agree that good handwriting fosters students success, and the Hemispheres think Write can help.
We would be delighted to share our materials and strategies with you, and invite you to bring a zing to the teaching of handwriting in your classroom. Call: 01276 472 858 for more information.
