We are thrilled to see the progress in handwriting speed among these Year 9 boys. Every student has an individual subscription, and they dedicate 10 minutes each class to our cursive handwriting video tutorials. We conduct speed tests in every session to consistently enhance this essential skill. The mastery of cursive writing is proving beneficial across all their subjects in secondary school, particularly since much of the coursework involves copying from the board. To set up subscriptions for your students for Term 2, please contact us at [email protected].

A groundbreaking study shows kids learn better on paper, not screens. Now what? For ā€˜deeper readingā€™ among children aged 10-12, paper trumps screens. What does it mean when schools are going digital?

Stop using learning stations 14/01/2024

Food for thought.

Stop using learning stations Can we stop with the learning stations already? My teacher prep endorsed them. My first instructional coach trained me in them. Every school that Iā€™ve ever worked at has incorporated them. Look them up on Teachers Pay Teachers and youā€™ll find scores of activities for various literacy stations, e...

The importance of teaching handwriting cannot be underestimated. Consistent instruction for just 10 minutes a day needs to happen across the country in every primary and intermediate school! This is the result if we don't - YEAR 9 boys who struggle to form their letters correctly and lacking in confidence in their writing ability. The content of their work is good... but it isn't legible.
