New Handwriting Spotlights – A 2-part series by the National Handwriting Association
We are delighted to bring you two new courses in January.
Many dyslexic learners struggle with handwriting, and this can have a number of negative impacts on learning. Finding out about the skills involved in handwriting, why some learners struggle, what research tells us about handwriting, and how to support learners with handwriting difficulties at home or in the classroom, is extremely valuable for both parents and education professionals.
The National Handwriting Association are experts in this field and we are delighted that they will come and share all their knowledge and expertise over these two new Spotlight Sessions with us in January.
The two spotlights, part 1 and part 2, are appropriate for parents and education professionals.
Part 1 on 14 January will explore Identifying the Need and Supporting Best Practice in Handwriting including:
- What does handwriting typically look like in children with dyslexia and how does this differ from the handwriting of neurotypical children
- What does current research tell us about handwriting difficulties and support options
- What role does weak spelling have on the impact of handwriting
- Practical strategies and top tips for supporting handwriting both at home and in the classroom
Part 2 on 19 January will explore the wider implications of handwriting including:
- What does current research tell us about the wider implications of handwriting difficulties
- What are the options for reasonable accommodations e.g. extra time/use of word processor
- Practical strategies when handwriting difficulties persist into secondary school
- What role do handwriting interventions have
- When to consider touch typing
