Fine Motor & Handwriting in Reception: Practical Strategies That Actually Work

Handwriting can feel like one of the biggest pressures in Reception. Maybe you have children who avoid writing completely. Maybe some are struggling with letter formation or fine motor control. Or perhaps you’re feeling that growing pressure for children to produce neat, fluent writing before they are truly physically ready. In this practical and reassuring webinar, we’ll explore what really supports handwriting development in the early years — and why confident writing starts long before children sit down with a pencil. Together, we’ll look at the physical foundations behind handwriting, the role of movement and provision, and simple, realistic strategies that can genuinely make a difference in your classroom. This session is designed for busy Reception practitioners who want practical ideas they can actually use, rooted in child development and real classroom experience. Wednesday June 10th 2026 7.30pm - 8.15pm Zoom Can't make it live?  Don't worry, book as usual and we will send the recording the next day!
