Friday night was the Hamstreet Primary School Summer Fayre, and we were invited to have a stand in the school hall, letting parents and children have a hands-on session with Letter-join. We presented Letter-join on one of our large touch-screen monitors, so children and visitors could have a go at joined-up handwriting with their 'Peter pointers'. Great fun!
Presenting in the school hall was very productive: parents now have a better awareness of the method of joined-up handwriting that the school teaches, and they also now know of our 'home edition' to help them and their children at home with handwriting practice.
We received some excellent feedback from visitors including:
"Really good for my eight year old who needs to tidy-up his handwriting".
Mother of Year 3 boy.
"She really loves it, I can see how it will help her when she gets into the nursery". Father of pre-nursery girl.
"It's brilliant. I didn't realise such things existed."
Mother of Year 1 girl.
Hamstreet School have worked closely with us to develop the Letter-join programme and have been one of the first adopters of the Letter-join handwriting method.
Some teachers are using it on a weekly basis in their handwriting lessons, and the Reception class will be introducing it to the new intake in September which will have a positive effect on handwriting in the years to come.
