About this product
We have produced this writing sheet that can be used as a mat on the child's desk or table to remind them of the basics for easy left-handed writing – paper angle, hand position and grip, and letter formation.
It is provided as a full-colour A3 sized (420mm x 295mm / 17.5in x 11.75in) Adobe PDF file with guidelines for positioning and an A4 sized (210mm / 8in) wide lined writing sheet to give the perfect position. This will print at high quality on an A4 or A3 printer in either colour or black and white, depending on what sort of printer you have available.
We know many of you have right-handed children as well as left, and it is also useful to point out the differences in the way they write, so we have produced a fully right-handed version of the mat as well, included in this product – you get 2 for the price of 1.
This is a digital download in Adobe PDF format, so you can print the document as often as you wish on your own printer.
If you wish to purchase the physical laminated product, please see the related product link below.

very helpful My daughter was struggling with keeping her handwriting neat due to smudging until we tried the position shown on the mat, now she is doing much better.
Very useful As a right hander myself I really had no idea how difficult it was for my daughter to follow the "rules" I use. This mat had helped her and me to keep the page where it should be. I have laminated it and hey presto, right every time!!
Excellent I got this for a friend of mine whose little boy(6)is left handed but she is right handed. She knew he might have problems with his writing but had no idea how to help him. This fitted the bill nicely.
I also keep a spare at the nursery where I work in case any child might benefit from it.
My daughter loves it Very helpful for keeping paper in the correct position. I laminated one as well to make it reuseable when used with a white board pen.
very helpful I got this for a friend's daughter, who was having trouble writing. Being left-handed myself, I knew this would be helpful. She loved it, and her mom says it is a grea help.
