Left Hand Writing Skills by Mark and Heather Stewart
The Left Hand Writing Skills series provides a specially designed learning programme to help the budding left-handed writer.
Handwriting remains a vitally important skill - despite the ubiquitous keyboard. Acquiring it takes perseverance and practice, whether the writer is left-handed or right-handed. For the left-handed, though, development of the skill of handwriting - in the 'right-handed' world where text runs from left to right - needs just a little more help.
Unfortunately, not many schools have made special provision for left-handed children, especially when it comes to handwriting. This can result in frustration, not just in handwriting development but - later - where handwriting is required for essays and other written work. Despite any initial difficulties, with good regular practice and patient guidance from adults, left-handers can write just as well - and often better - than their right-handed friends. Five to ten minutes of regular daily practice is needed - and this is far more effective than occasional lengthy sessions.
The problem has been that no really user-friendly materials, dedicated to the task of establishing good writing habits, were available for left-handers. The Left Hand Writing Skills series now meets that need. The series is available in two formats, each consisting of a total of over 80 enjoyable, highly-illustrated worksheets.
For use at home, where parents can work with their child, there are three separate books:
Left Hand Writing Skills Book 1: Fabulous Fine Motor Practice (LHWS01)
Establishes good basic habits of paper positioning and pencil hold, and develops the fine motor skills needed for accurate, consistent writing at a later stage. The book takes the young writer from basic pencil handling and co-ordination exercises through to formation of letters & simple short texts.
£6.95
Left Hand Writing Skills Book 2: Funky Formation and Flow (LHWS02)
Begins with some revision of the essential letter formation exercises in Book 1 & then focuses on the flow of letters into word formation. Left-handers who have already developed their fine motor skills but not yet the necessary good habits of pen/pencil & paper holding might prefer to start their practice with this book.
£6.95
Left Hand Writing Skills Book 3: successful smudge-free writing (LHWS03)
Consolidates the process of developing good writing habits. In this book, the writer applies all that has been learnt in Books 1 & 2 to writing with a pen - in ink! This is the test of success for the left-handed writer. First to create words that are accurately formed & legible, and then to avoid spoiling them by smudging as the left hand follows the pen across the page.
£6.95
For use in schools - Left Hand Writing Skills Combined Edition (LHWS04)
The series is presented in a combined photocopiable edition (black & white) for use in one establishment.
£29.95
Left Hand Writing Skills CD Edition (LHWS05)
This edition of the Left Hand Writing Skills series combines the three colour-illustrated books in the series, as well as the mono version of the exercises in the Combined Photocopiable Edition.
Altogether, the CD contains the 83 worksheets which can be printed out by teachers – or parents – in either mono or colour. The exercises help students through the phases of fine motor skill development, formation and flow of letters and words, and on to successful smudge-free writing using ink.
