​

To be able to write in a clear and neat style is important. People will find it difficult to reach their true potential if they have not gained a good mastery of this skill.

The McLeod Centre for Learning encourages the use of a joined script as it aids the acquisition of reading, plus promotes deeper understanding and recall. However, we do respond to individual needs and, following an initial assessment, will devise an appropriate, individual programme for each pupil.

 

We use a variety of resources to encourage correct sitting position and pencil grip. We have a large selection of left, and right-handed, fountain pens to enable students to choose a nib that is compatible with their writing style.
