Free for families and individual teachers · no subscription required.
LETTER FORMATION

See where the letter starts and how it moves.

Watch each stroke take shape. Pause, replay and slow the moment down so your child can look before they put pencil to paper. Explore letter formation.

PERSONAL PRACTICE

Their name is a wonderful place to begin.

Turn names, favourite animals and little sentences into handwriting activities. Familiar words make each practice moment feel like it belongs to them. See personal practice.

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HELP

Trace. Copy. Then leave room to try.

Choose the support that fits today. Move from tracing to copying to independent writing without changing the words or the routine. Explore printable practice.

A FAMILIAR SCHOOL STYLE

Keep home practice on the same page as school.

Choose the Australian handwriting style your child already sees in class, so the letter shapes feel familiar wherever they practise. Explore school styles.

MADE FOR THE KITCHEN TABLE

PAPER STILL MATTERS

The screen shows the movement. Their hand does the learning.

Handwriting Boost makes letter formation easier to see, then helps you carry the same activity onto paper. Children are not asked to write on a screen or have their handwriting scored.
