Love this! 📚😊💛

Educator Supe Mavis Beacon taught me 😄. The gamified versions are awesome. But don’t write off handwriting. I’ve just published a paper on handwriting which found that handwriting intervention of the sort Nicky Parr offers transforms the enjoyment of learning for pupils.

‘There may well be countless children whose learning would benefit from having the extrinsic load of handwriting reduced which could have a positive impact on either the affective outcomes of their schooling, the quality of their schoolwork or indeed both…’

Can any primary specialists explain pen licences to me? What’s the research basis? Is it something which is pretty iniquitous and broadly practised? Or is it a bit contentious? Is there anything I can read?

#DosbarthDulais enjoyed getting back to their handwriting sessions with Nicky Parr’s resources today! #YGTLLC

A massive thank you to Nicky Parr for holding a staff training session on handwriting today. It was fantastic for the children to meet the face behind the voice during their handwriting sessions this afternoon #YGTLLC #YGTACL 🖊️

Having learnt so much about handwriting from Nicky Parr on X/Twitter and from her blogs, it was a real privilege to meet her in person today! Better Handwritten Thank you so much for visiting 😊

Is it all over for writing by hand? When did you last hand write a letter? #handwriting

Handwriting instruction actually needs to come back in a big way and taken seriously at primary and at KS3.

Neil Almond My trust did seem training across our schools last year, and there are some where all at KS2/3 do this daily as part of their routines. Some of the impact has been phenomenal.

Neil Almond Tell the state of NJ. It's not in our standards at any grade level. No handwriting curriculum in my district at all.
