Engaging Your Reluctant Writer
Online course to support your reluctant writer to engage in purposeful mark making and handwriting for children aged 2yrs+
This online course will help you to feel more confident in supporting your child’s handwriting development.
I will take you from frantically searching the internet for solutions, to having the ideas, skills and knowledge at your fingertips that allows you to support your child to thrive.
The unique structure of this online course is based around PLAY.
Weaving handwriting opportunities into your child’s play is key for them to be engaged AND make progress with their handwriting!
Can you relate to any of these?
- ✔ You work so hard to support your child to improve their mark making and letters, but they have zero motivation and get upset when you try to encourage them to write
- ✔ You have scoured the internet looking for resources, activity ideas, tips and tricks, but it all feels really overwhelming and you’re just not sure where to start
- ✔ You try all the activities you have found on the internet, but your child finds them really tricky and ends up distressed
- ✔ You’ve asked your nursery or school for ideas, and they’ve sent you lots of worksheets to try at home, but your child just refuses to even try
- ✔ You’ve bought every type of pencil grip on the market to try and make it easier for your child to hold their pencil comfortably, but they’re still complaining of their hand hurting when writing or drawing
- ✔ You’re worried that your child may have some underlying difficulties impacting on their writing, but you’re not sure what you can do to help
- ✔ You just want your child to reach their full potential, but you’re not sure where to start
This course is for you if...
- ✔ You have a child aged 2+ years
- ✔ You find it really impossible to engage your child in mark making or writing… however, you’re not sure what you can do at home to help
- ✔ You want to know how to make writing more fun and engaging for your child
- ✔ You want to know how to encourage a desire to mark make
- ✔ You want ideas to help your little fidget who refuses to sit at the table to write

- ✔ You want fun mark making and writing activities that don’t involve lots of worksheets!
