At the heart of the Move Write series lies a deep understanding of developmental milestones and the intricate journey of a child’s cognitive and motor skill development. Recognizing that no two learners are alike, the books offer flexibility, accommodating both print and cursive handwriting styles based on individual developmental needs.
A Multifaceted Approach:
What sets Move Write apart is its holistic approach to handwriting, intertwining sensory-rich experiences with child-led activities. From whole-body engagement to interactive exercises, the programme transcends traditional methods, fostering an immersive learning environment conducive to skill acquisition.
Guiding the Journey:
Accompanying each book is the invaluable Prepare to Write pupil book, a treasure trove of 20 meticulously curated step-by-step drawings. These drawings, rooted in the foundational principles of Beery’s Test of Visual Integration, serve as a compass, guiding learners through the intricate process of mastering basic geometric shapes—a crucial precursor to formal handwriting instruction.
Empowering Competence:
Through a series of structured activities and practice exercises, learners are encouraged to develop competence and confidence in their handwriting abilities. Whether in a whole-class setting or one-to-one interaction, the programme adapts seamlessly to cater to the unique needs of each learner.
Research-Backed Foundations:
Central to the efficacy of Move Write is its research-backed approach. Drawing from Beery’s Developmental Test of Visual Integration and Motor Integration (1989), the programme aligns with empirical evidence suggesting that formal handwriting training should commence post-mastery of basic geometric shapes. By integrating suggested letter groupings and a pre-writing checklist based on research findings, Move Write ensures a solid foundation for future handwriting endeavors.
Embracing Progress:
The journey of handwriting acquisition is not just about the destination but the milestones achieved along the way. Move Write celebrates progress, fostering a culture where every achievement, no matter how small, is recognized and celebrated.
Move Write sets a new standard in handwriting education—one that celebrates diversity, embraces progress, and empowers learners to script their own success stories, one stroke at a time.
