Learning <strong>to</strong> write made easier<br />
and quicker with Write Size!<br />
Writing is one of the most fundamental learning<br />
blocks of education, and can often be a challenge<br />
for young children.<br />
Could it be possible, giving children a pencil that is<br />
<strong>to</strong>o long and thin in their hand is one of the main<br />
reasons for this struggle?<br />
Write Size have created a unique and niche range<br />
of writing pencils made <strong>to</strong> scale for a child’s hand,<br />
promoting better control and improved writing<br />
ability.<br />
Recent classroom studies showed up <strong>to</strong> 97% of<br />
children had improved writing when using Write<br />
Size pencils. With the majority of children writing<br />
more words per minute.<br />
When used with Write Size books, parents have the<br />
ability <strong>to</strong> teach their children the alphabet and basic<br />
skills of writing before they even get <strong>to</strong> school, giving<br />
children the best start <strong>to</strong> their education.<br />
