Title Handwriting Reset Intervention Bundle | 36-Session Programme, Baseline Assessment, Teacher Guide & Pupil Workbook

A complete, structured handwriting intervention programme designed to help pupils develop clearer, more controlled and more confident handwriting.

The Handwriting Reset Bundle provides everything needed to assess handwriting difficulties, identify specific areas for development, deliver targeted intervention and demonstrate progress over time.

Rather than relying on repetitive handwriting sheets, the programme systematically develops the foundations of successful handwriting, including physical readiness, pencil control, letter formation, letter size, baseline awareness, spacing, fluency and independent application.

The bundle includes a comprehensive baseline assessment, a detailed teacher intervention guide and a corresponding pupil workbook, making it suitable for use as a full handwriting intervention across a term or academic year.

Next steps

The programme progresses through eight carefully structured sections:

Section 1 – Control Before Letters
Developing pencil control, movement, baseline awareness and writing zones.

Section 2 – Curly Letter Family
Teaching controlled curved movements through letters including c, o, a, d, g and q.

Section 3 – Straight and Down Letters
Developing controlled downward movement and accurate formation.

Section 4 – Humps, Stems and Rounded Letters
Working systematically through letters including n, m, h, r, b, p, k and f.

Section 5 – Diagonals and Complete Alphabet
Completing the lowercase alphabet and identifying individual letters requiring additional intervention.

Section 6 – Size Control
Teaching pupils to differentiate between small letters, tall letters and descenders.

Section 7 – Spacing Control
Developing appropriate spaces between letters and words.

Section 8 – Fluency and Transfer
Moving from isolated handwriting practice into longer and more independent writing tasks.

The programme concludes with a final handwriting assessment, allowing progress to be compared directly with the pupil’s starting point.

Letter-family practice
Error identification
Target-letter activities
Alphabet audits
Size-control exercises
Descender and tall-letter practice
Letter spacing
Word spacing
Sustained handwriting
Self-assessment
Personal handwriting targets
Before-and-after handwriting comparison

The workbook also includes regular checkpoints and review activities so that pupils can see their progress throughout the intervention.

Ideal for

This resource is particularly useful for:

SENCOs
SEND teachers
Teaching assistants
Intervention teachers
Primary teachers
Secondary SEND departments
Alternative provision
Specialist settings
Tutors
Home educators

It may be particularly helpful for pupils who:

have poorly formed letters;
struggle to keep writing on the line;
use inconsistent letter sizes;
confuse tall letters and descenders;
have weak pencil control;
leave inconsistent spaces;
find handwriting tiring;
produce handwriting that is difficult to read;
need a structured handwriting intervention rather than general handwriting practice.
Why this bundle is different

Handwriting difficulties are often treated simply by asking pupils to write more.

Handwriting Reset takes a different approach.

The programme begins by identifying why handwriting is difficult and then explicitly teaches the individual skills needed for successful handwriting.

Pupils progress from:

control → formation → size → spacing → fluency → independent writing

Regular assessments, personal target letters and review sessions allow intervention to be responsive to the individual pupil rather than following a completely generic handwriting sequence.

The final assessment and before-and-after comparison also provide useful evidence of intervention impact for teachers, SENCOs, parents and pupil progress records.
