HANDWRITING SHOWS UNEXPECTED BENEFITS OVER TYPING

✎Children need a fun, creative approach to writing and the correct pencil grip.

✎Many teachers feel unprepared to teach handwriting due to a lack of formal training in handwriting instruction and the shift toward digital writing.

✎Teachers express frustration at the lack of enthusiasm among their students about handwriting. Others say they lack the instructional materials to strengthen writing skills.

✎It's important to teach handwriting throughout the primary years to develop speed and fluency and encourage students to develop their own style of handwriting.

✎It all begins with learning basic handwriting skills and having fun on the journey.

✎You can't scare me.

✎I've taught readers-in-training, writers-in-training and artists-in-training for three decades.

✎It's my dream to give the 22.53 million children aged 0 to 5 years living in the United States plus the estimated 600 million children around the world under 5 years old - the tools they need to read, write, draw and have fun doing it.

✎I designed the breakthrough SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET for preschool kindergarten and primary children.

✎I equip parents and teachers to become writing coaches.

✎The tablet can also be used with secondary students who have not mastered basic handwriting skills.

✎ The Difference

✎I designed the breakthrough SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET for preschool kindergarten, primary children, and their parents and teachers who I instruct to become their writing coaches.

✎SKY, SAND and SEA MANUSCRIPT PRINTING TABLET has the potential to be more popular than the BIG CHIEF TABLET that I loved as a child. Western Tablet trademarked the BIG CHIEF TABLET in 1947. It was discontinued in 2001, after some 80 years of production.
