Write with me is part of our Learn with me campaign. It's full of tips and activity ideas to get your child off to a great start.
A lot needs to happen before your child can pick up a pen and write. They need to learn to coordinate hand and eye movements, strengthen their hands and fingers so they can grip and develop balance for pencil control to name but a few.
These leaflets are full of easy ideas you can use to help your child develop the skills they need for writing. There are five in the series and each one covers a different age range from birth to five years old. They'll give you an understanding of what children like and can do too.
You can read them online or print off a copy by downloading the files at the bottom of the page.
