LDA Speed Up! Activity Programme
Product code: E1005383
Product Description
In just eight weekly sessions, Speed Up! provides a multi-sensory course of help for any child aged 8 Years + whose handwriting is illegible, slow or lacking in fluency. Poor handwriting hinders many children's progress - right across the curriculum. Unfortunately, most handwriting schemes do little to help children who are struggling with this vital skill. Here, at last, is a new and highly effective approach. Developed by a leading paediatric occupational therapist and designed specifically for older children struggling with handwriting, Speed Up! gets to the root of writing difficulties by developing kinaesthetic awareness through multi-sensory activity and exercise.
The programme includes:
- a baseline assessment
- clear, fully illustrated, photocopiable instruction sheets
- an overview of the theory behind the practice
- advice on identifying underlying causes of difficulty and how to tackle them.
The sessions may be delivered by a teacher, teaching assistant, classroom assistant or therapist. The emphasis throughout is on enjoyment, building self-esteem and developing writing confidence. Contains 64 A4 pages.
