Dear Debbie,
I am an English language teacher from Ukraine.
I happened to come across your Joined handwriting video.
It's quite useful. I teach little pupils as well. And sometimes it's
a problem for them to learn writing. They start their own joining letters and finally invent their own handwriting style)))
Your video will help me a lot. Thanks. Next september I am going
to teach writing to 7-year-old pupils.
I just wanted to email to say a very belated thank you for the great phonics training. We have gained a lot of insight into how we consistently approach phonics and now need to find some time to look properly at Phonics International for KS2.
I also wanted to say that this morning I have been looking at your handwriting site and have been completely inspired. It is the first time the teaching of handwriting has seemed so simple and uncomplicated (as does phonics!). I have just purchased the 'joinit' package and feel much more confident about this approach than schemes I have come across in the past.
Thank you - you are an inspiration.
Happy Christmas to you and Dave!
