Non Joined Handwriting for Children<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The pre-cursive, non joined handwriting<\/strong> programme is ideal for children aged 5 who are not yet ready to learn cursive (joined-up) writing. *<\/span><\/strong>Younger children aged 4 may also benefit if they have the fine motor control to hold a pencil and show an interest in writing. Older children who struggle with legibility or motor control will also benefit from this structured approach.<\/p>\n

The 15-step Magic Link Handwriting Programme provides clear video instruction alongside printable worksheets. The course is carefully structured into simple, manageable steps, with words and sentences taught vowel-by-vowel. The unique Magic Link font helps children form letters more easily, without unnecessary flicks and curls that often cause confusion.<\/p>\n

This course includes over 4 hours of teaching videos, with each lesson lasting around 15 minutes. Children learn correct pencil grip, posture, letter formation, spacing, punctuation and number formation and purchase the recommended pencils<\/a>. <\/strong>The programme is suitable for both left- and right-handed learners.<\/p>\n

Engaging music and helpful \u201ctop tips\u201d are included throughout to reinforce learning and build confidence. Each step is practised on lined paper to support transfer into everyday writing. At the end of the programme, children receive a Certificate of Achievement to celebrate their progress.<\/p>\n

After completing the 15 steps, children are ready to progress to the cursive (joined-up) programme, typically starting at Step 4.<\/p>\n

The course runs online via any internet browser on PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. It is presented by Lee Dein, Speech & Language Therapist and Dyslexia Tutor, with over 30 years of experience.<\/p>\n

Unlimited access is provided for 12 months (most children complete the course within 6\u20138 weeks). This course is designed for home use.<\/p>\n
