Australian Handwriting
Discover the official handwriting styles taught in Australian schools. Learn which style your child needs and how Writeboards makes learning fun, effective, and eco-friendly.
Why Styles Matter
- Letters differ across states in shape and slant.
- Each style has an official Department-approved name.
Even trained teachers sometimes miss these differences. Parents need reliable guidance.
Which Style Does Your Child Need?
- Some sellers use correct names like “NSW Foundation” or “VIC Modern Cursive”.
- Many use look-alike fonts that do not meet Department standards.
Four “NSW Foundation” fonts sold locally — only one is authentic.
- Three are fake look-alikes.
- Even small differences in letters affect learning.
This happens across all states, confusing parents and teachers with incorrect materials.

Practice Smart with Writeboards
Children must master all 26 letters and 10 numbers. Print worksheets repeatedly (wasteful), or use a reusable Writeboard — print once, reuse forever.
