SUMMARY:NHA Twilight: From Foundations to Fluency – What does the Writing Framework ask us to rethink across the phases?
DESCRIPTION:What empowers a learner to become a fluent writer? \n\n\n\nThis session looks at the Writing Framework through the lens of the National Handwriting Association\, following the journey from EYFS through to KS3. We’ll explore the role of handwriting\, transcription\, automaticity\, stamina and composition\, and consider how these demands change as learners move through the phases. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also look at some of the practical implications for pupils who find writing more difficult\, including those with SEND\, and consider what the developing curriculum landscape may mean for schools\, practitioners and others supporting written communication. \n\n\n\nThe session is led by Johanna Morris\, an experienced SENCO who has worked across key stages and brings a practical\, enthusiastic and strongly learner-centred perspective to the discussion. \n\n\n\nPrice: £25 non-members\, £20 members \n\n\n\nMEMBERS PLEASE LOG IN TO RECEIVE YOUR DISCOUNT AUTOMATICALLY

SUMMARY:NHA Twilight: Teaching the Left-hander
DESCRIPTION:Why do people think left-handers always have messy writing?\n\n\n\nWhy do people think teaching left-handers is difficult?\n\n\n\nHow is the left-hander’s body involved in handwriting\, including pencil grip and posture? \n\n\n\nHow can the writing implement and paper position affect writing fluency and efficiency? \n\n\n\nWhat alternative letter forms should be considered to help the left-hander establish greater legibility at speed?\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresented by specialist teacher Amanda McLeod\, this webinar will provide you with the knowledge needed to help the left-hander in class or at home. The webinar will be practical\, so get ready to participate with pen\, paper\, samples of writing and questions! It is open to all\, including teachers\, parents\, and occupational therapists. \n\n\n\nAlthough predominantly focused on handwriting acquisition in the primary school age groups\, the information provided can be used to address many common handwriting difficulties regardless of age group. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: Amanda McLeod is the author and series consultant to the publisher Scholastic for its Handwriting series from Nursery to Reception. In her Reception to Year 2 book and the following Years 3–6\, the left-handed writer is considered alongside the right-hander. Amanda is an ex-EYFS teacher\, dyslexia specialist and founder of the McLeod Centre for Learning. \n\n\n\nBooking to open soon.
