This is our handwriting scheme at school and this online program allows the children the opportunity to practise their handwriting at home. The program can be used on iPads and tablets as well as desktop and laptop computers. You will find the same, easy-to-use handwriting resources we use at school, including videos showing the children how to form all the letters of the alphabet, the option to trace over the letters and words using a tablet and the option to print out worksheets from the computer for real handwriting practise.

A letter was sent at the beginning of the academic year containing the log in details, if you have misplaced this then please let us know and we can give you this information.
