Left Hand Writing Skills Book 1 "Fabulous Fine Motor Skills"

Left Hand Writing Skills Book 1 – 'Fabulous Fine Motor Skills'. The first of a series of three books specially created to help left-handed children develop their writing skills from the very beginning.The first set of books ever to focus exclusively on left-handers, written by Mark and Heather Stewart who have a left-handed son and years of experience working with left-handers. The objective of Book 1 is to establish good basic habits of paper positioning and pencil hold, then to develop the fine motor skills needed for accurate, consistent writing at a later stage.Pages are bound from the top of each worksheet, allowing the left hand to rest on a level surface with no obstacles – a key practical advantage over standard books.The illustrations are aimed primarily at 6–7 year-olds, when many left-handed children become more conscious of the difference between their writing style and that of their right-handed peers. However, the overall design is suitable for any age – we've heard from grateful users nearer to retirement age than to next year's Year 2!Features:A4 size (210 x 297mm)28 full-colour worksheets, each with guidance and tipsGuidance notes on writing technique and skills developmentLined practice sheet (can be photocopied)Reference guide to correct left-handed formation of all letters and numbersFun characters Billy Beetle, Sam Spider, Willie Woodlouse and Sally Snail lead children through the exercisesUses Sassoon Infant font – widely used in schoolsSuitable from age 6–7, though also helpful for older learners..

So You think they’re left handed

"So You Think They're Left-Handed?"Expert help for you and your pre-school child.Our research suggests that few parents – and few teachers – are sufficiently conscious of the young left-hander's needs. Consequently, many young left-handers develop awkward writing habits which can cause discomfort and slow, not-very-legible writing. For the child, this can result in frustration, disinterest and a fall in self-esteem. For the teacher, a child with those symptoms indicates the possibility of a reduction in achievement.The Left Hand Writing Skills books published by Robinswood Press have helped tens of thousands of children worldwide – aged around 6 years or older and with established poor writing habits – to correct their left-handed fine motor skills and improve their achievement. But why do we unnecessarily create this need?It is difficult to identify with absolute certainty whether a young child is left-handed or not. So, parents and teachers often ignore signs of left-handedness until a problem arises at school. That's where this book fits in.Designed primarily for parents/grandparents of Early Years and Reception age children, this book helps to check out left-handedness in a fun, family way, and includes 32 drawing and cutting exercises where the natural flow is for a left-hander.Without creating an 'issue' for the child, the parent can then inform teachers of probable left-handedness. The teacher can then implement the simple yet often ignored guidelines for development of appropriate fine motor skills – and avoid the anguish where left and right elbows clash unnecessarily in the classroom!..
