[senco-forum] Handwriting help

We have a year 10 boy who had a serious road accident back in October,

I like the speed up handwriting programme...short and to the point and 
the kids enjoy the variety. You can buy it through LDA and you can make 
your own board with a white board and a bit of blue tack or buy it 
through LDA.
Hope this helps,

Judy
