Very useful for students with learning difficulties who know how to print but wish to develop a more mature style of handwriting. Particularly useful for students with severe learning difficulties.

The pack develops in clear stages and is delivered in manageable chunks. The language was clear and style emphasises the "fun" aspect of handwriting.

I haven't seen any other resources with the range. I would use it with my children in my SLD unit who have difficulty with handwriting. Useful for individual work with students and those who request homework. Covers a lot and not like a "normal" aspect of handwriting.

I especially like the cursive script since this is the first handwriting pack that I have seen with cursive script. I certainly could use it in the classroom and with individual homework schemes.

The cross curricular nature of the whole school statement on handwriting could be supported by other subject departments using individual sheets. Pupils were quite eager which was encouraging because usually handwriting is a "switch off" at High School.
