Handwriting Pocketbook
 My Handwriting Pocketbook is for those teaching novice writers, older children or adults. It offers ways of teaching, improving and troubleshooting handwriting.
I start with the basics - seating, posture, paper and writing implements, then fix handwriting goalposts with a handwriting checklist. I have included my multi-sensory 'Key Notes' method, specific chapters on teaching beginner writers, improving handwriting and solving handwriting problems (e.g: for left-handers or those with dysgraphia or arthritis) and a resource section referring readers to schemes, aids, software, websites and books.
What people are saying about the Handwriting Pocketbook?
“This is a great little book for the busy teacher... All in all, this is a book that I expect to use time and time again and I recommend it as a handy pocket guide”
TES Website Full review HERE
“Throughout Julie shows evidence of solid practical experience together with an awareness of recent research on the subject of handwriting..... All in all this little booklet contains quite a surprising amount of sound and useful information. The small format is likely to be a point in its favour as teachers are often overwhelmed with work and find it difficult to make time to read longer books. This little book is accessible enough to be read right through in quite a short time and can then easily be kept handy for reference when needed. Both teachers ad teaching assistants who are involved in teaching children to write will certainly find it very helpful.”
Suzanne Tiburtius
Information officer for the National Handwriting Association
Handwriting Today Number 7 autumn 2008
“Julie Bennett has managed to fit an amazing amount of useful, practical information into this small book. She offers alternatives and solutions rather than hard-and-fast rules, plus a full section on further resources. Teachers will find this Pocketbook a great help in understanding the issues involved in the teaching of handwriting. “
Dr Rosemary Sassoon
Handwriting specialist and designer of the Sassoon Primary Typefaces.
“This book covers the important subject of handwriting, leaving no stone unturned. It is detailed yet concise, eye-catching and user-friendly; altogether highly practical and accessible. Just what busy teachers need!”
