The Junior Handwriting Kit is ideal for the Year 0-1 classroom. Junior teachers spend a large proportion of time helping children develop their pencil grip and handwriting. The development of handwriting skills is one of the key areas necessary for all primary aged children. The tools in the Junior Handwriting Kit aim to focus on:
(1) The skills necessary for good handwriting writing skill development and habits for beginning writers and
(2) to also make the process for teachers to assess and implement strategies much easier in the classroom.
(3) meeting the needs of a wide range of different fine motor and handwriting abilities at the junior level.
The Junior Handwriting kit includes:
- 2 x Pencil Grip Sampler (Set of 11). This range of pencil grips in the Junior Handwriting Kit help with developing and maintaining the correct 'tripod' grip for writing.

- 2 x Multisensory Handwriting books for the development of correct letter and number formation, which includes special ink pens which allow writing in the book that fades over time for reuse
