ACTIVLINGUA’s Handwriting Resources harness the teaching power of multimedia and interactive whiteboard technology – and make learning to write a completely dynamic experience - just the way it should be!

Audio, animation and colourful images help to make learning to write fun, giving learners a real sense of achievement.

Available in either Print or Cursive versions, in either British or American English. All four versions are available for both young and adult learners, as well as left-handed and right-handed users.

Using the Handwriting Resources, learners are taught correct letter formation through activities, animated demonstrations and practical exercises in flipcharts and worksheets. They start by drawing shapes and lines common in written English and progress to writing letters in the context of whole words. Dotted lines and direction arrows on the Activboard help to guide children through the formation of each line, shape, letter and number.

The software resources are based on developing fine motor control through stimulating and enjoyable practice.
