✏️ One handwriting tool? We couldn’t pick just one.
As OTs, we love a good therapy resource but the truth is, no single tool magically improves handwriting. The best outcomes come from matching the right support to the child in front of you.
Some of our handwriting favourites include:
🧡 Slant boards for posture, wrist positioning and visual access
🧡 Palm grasp crayons for building early hand skills and encouraging a functional grasp
🧡 Textured handwriting paper for extra tactile feedback
🧡 Sky-Grass-Ground paper for teaching letter size, placement and formation
But if we had to choose our clinic favourite? 👇
🌤️ Sky-Grass-Ground paper gets our vote. It gives children a visual framework for where letters live, making letter formation, sizing and line placement much easier to understand.
Remember: handwriting is about more than pencil grip. Visual perception, motor planning, postural control, bilateral coordination and fine motor skills all play a role.
What’s your go-to handwriting resource? We’d love to hear it! ✍️
