WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR

Does this sound familiar?

"My child does not enjoy handwriting and finds it very difficult, their pencil grip seems to make it harder too."

"I don’t know if my child has the foundational skills to start school, and they're not showing any interest in writing."

"My child does not like engaging in focused tasks that require them to sit or repeatedly practice a skill over time."

If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone, – it’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.

The program can help lay the foundational motor skills required to support a good pencil grip in preparation for handwriting development.

ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING

What the program covers

The Getting Ready To Write Program focuses on four levels of skill development: core strength, upper body strength, hand strength, then fine motor and handwriting skills.

By progressing through these stages, your child will build the foundational motor skills needed to support a proper pencil grip and confidently engage in handwriting tasks.

The program features play-based activities to keep children engaged as they develop critical skills. Along with instructional videos and a comprehensive facilitator guide, a streamlined toolbox of resources is provided to inspire your child as they lay the groundwork for handwriting.

Designed to be intensive, the program requires a daily commitment of 20 minutes to achieve meaningful results. It’s best suited for school holidays or one-on-one sessions with a support person at school, rather than being added on top of a busy school schedule.

This physical program focuses first on developing strength and endurance, ensuring your child has the physical foundation necessary for successful handwriting development.
