Australia's Shame, Landfill Clogged!  

• Why on earth would they buy a product that would last? That is not good for business, that is not good for turnover. 

• As a business you need to import a product that your customers need to replace from day one of use up to the longest being six months.
• This means more sales for them. Who gives a xxxx about the environment as long as they make money.

Why do schools and educational institutions continue to buy these products? 

I have struggled with the answer to this question as they are supposed to care about the environment, however, that is only happening on the surface where everyone can see the improvements.

I have spoken to many teachers over the last fifteen years that now use our Writeboard. They have confided in me and told me that the following are used and thrown out on a daily basis and no one cares about the waste. It is the same list:

• Laminates.
• Dry-erase boards.
• Whiteboards.
• Plastic sleeves.
• Chemical cleaners etc.

This is happening day after day, month after month, and year after year and no one one knows about it...They are cheap and nasty products and not one of them is Australian made, not one of them is recyclable, and not one of them is eco-friendly.

Learn to Tell the Time the EASY way!

Fifty Percent of Children Cannot Tell Analog Time:

When I was at school, learning to read the clock was a given. We had to learn to tell both digital and analog time. There were no questions or alternatives— it was just expected.

I don’t understand why this expectation isn’t as strong for today’s students. Telling time isn’t difficult; after all, there are only 12 hours on an analog clock!

Understanding AM and PM: In the morning, we use "AM," an abbreviation of the Latin phrase ante meridiem (before midday). In the afternoon, "PM" stands for post meridiem (after midday).

Tell the Time Using Colours:

Writeboards have designed a three-stage colour-coded system through worksheets and flashcards, making it easy for your child to learn how to tell the time. Each worksheet comes with and without answers, so your child can practice independently.

We’ve also created clocks compatible with our reusable Writeboard that allow your child to practice both analog (past and to times) and digital time on the same worksheet.

Learn to Tell the Time:

• Stage One: Teaches your child how to tell the hour on both digital and analog clocks.
• Stage Two: Helps your child tell the time in five-minute increments on both digital and analog clocks (without moving the hour hand).
• Stage Three: Teaches your child to tell the time in five-minute increments with the hour hand moving.

Why Learning to Form Letters Is So Important for Your Child

The Connection Between Writing and Reading

When your child learns to write, they also build the foundation for learning to read. Writing and reading are deeply connected through similar patterns:

• Top to Bottom: Writing letters starts from the top and moves downward, mirroring the way children read from the top of the page down.
• Left to Right: Forming letters in words follows the same left-to-right pattern used when reading sentences in a book.

Building Muscle Memory for Learning

As your child practices forming letters, the movements needed to create each letter are stored in their memory, just like the physical movements for sitting or standing. This motor memory helps children recall how letters are shaped, making it easier to identify and read them on a page.

Writing and reading work together by using the same memory processes to absorb, analyze, and understand information. This link is crucial for your child’s literacy development.

Get Your Child Ready to go to School in Australia 

According to the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) which 98% of childcare and preschool centres adhere to they say that:

• Your Child needs support and encouragement to make starting school a positive experience.

Kindergarten teachers say the most important attributes are:

• Good language and listening skills.
• A positive attitude.
• Social confidence.
• The ability to focus on one activity for a period of time.
• The participation in high quality early childhood education.

The Early Learning Year Framework addresses the following five outcomes:

Outcome 1:

• Your child should develop a strong sense of identity and exploring while they feel safe and supported in what they learn.

Outcome 2:

• Your child should be connected and contribute to their world. Your child should be able to broaden their experiences by moving between different settings and connecting with others.

Outcome 3:

• Your child should have a strong sense of well-being and that they will have experienced both pride and success in their achievements. Your child should also feel confident discussing their emotions and responses to different events with people that they trust. This includes your child's attitude and expectations around going to school.

Outcome 4:

• Your child should be a confident and involved in learning. This is achieved when your child can relate their connections between preschool and school settings so they can make sense of new experiences and transfer their knowledge from one place to another.

Outcome 5:

• Your child should be an effective communicator. This focuses on your child's verbal and non verbal interactions with both their peers and adults. It also puts a spotlight on your child's numeracy and literacy skills. When your child develops their confidence about starting school they will also develop abilities to express their own ideas, their feelings and understanding of both themselves and the world they live in.

Be Very Careful What You Purchase for Your Child to get them School Ready

If you are buying from other Australian educational shops, or on the internet, make sure that they are using the RIGHT handwriting style for your State or Territory. We can assure that that at least 95% of them are wrong! Read more about this here

Five Different Handwriting Styles for Australian School Children

It may surprise you to learn that the handwriting style taught in Australian schools varies depending on the state or territory in which your child resides.

Pictured below is an example of the five different handwriting styles that are used in Australian schools:

• You can clearly see that the shape and angle of the first five letters of the alphabet are different from each other, and it is just the same with the remaining twenty one letters.
• You will also notice all the different names the handwriting styles use.

Over Writeboards fifteen years in business, they have spoken to many teachers that are not even aware of these facts, so I ask myself, how are parents supposed to know what to do?

How do you know which Australian Handwriting Style is right for your child?

This would be much easier if there was an Australian standard that could not be abused. Unfortunately, that's not the case.

• There are many people that claim to have the right handwriting style for your child (this is increasing on a daily basis).
• These same people even use the right Australian names for what they are selling you e.g. NSW Foundation Font worksheets, VIC Modern Cursive Font worksheets etc.

What they are not telling you is, that they are creating books and digital files using what Writeboards refer to as a "look-alike fonts".

The image below features four fonts known as NSW Foundation Font.

These can be purchased from educational supply stores and online. The disparities demonstrated here are consistent across all the states and territories in Australia.

As you can see only one is right and completed using the strict guidelines that the NSW Department of Education have set out in their syllabus.

• If you look at the others, they kind of look-alike, however, they are NOT!
• If you look even closer and compare letter against letter, you will see huge differences in both the shape & angle of the letters.

This unfortunately, is only a small sample of the multitude of Australian handwriting look-alike fonts that are currently flooding the market being sold to parents and teachers.

An even more frightening fact is that you can download all the Aussie handwriting styles for free on the internet. Rather then describe how disgustingly wrong they all are...I will leave it to the imagination of the reader.

Make Sure Your Child is using the Right Australian Handwriting

Writeboards is the only worldwide business that backs their Australian worksheets and flashcards with a 100% money-back guarantee!

Once you have the right worksheets for your child, the next logical step is to get them to practice. Keep in mind that they need to learn twenty six letters and ten numbers.

You have two choices:

• You can print those pages over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until your child has mastered the whole thirty six letters and numbers.
• You can purchase a reusable Writeboard and only ever have to print any page once.

Learn Australian Handwriting the Fun and Easy Way

Ask any child and they will tell you that practicing handwriting is a boring task. Well that boring task just became lots more fun with the invention of the Writeboard.

The Aussie made and owned, reusable Writeboard has been in Sydney schools for over fifteen years now and they have not worn out. What lasts that long these days?

Here is a comment from a teacher that uses the Writeboard in her class:

"The kids LOVE using the Writeboards and have no problems with wanting to do a handwriting template over again. No more "I'm finished. What do I do now?"

There are way too many features of the eco-friendly Writeboard to mention here, however, if you would like to know more just click on the link.

Our Reusable Writeboard

Australian-Made & Owned Reusable Writing Board – Our Writeboard: The Eco-Friendly Solution

Looking for a durable and environmentally friendly writing board? Our Australian-made Writeboard is the only clear reusable board on the market that’s designed to help save the planet. With over 14 years in schools, the original Writeboards are still in use today, making them the long-lasting, sustainable choice for your child’s learning journey.

Why Choose Our Writeboard Over Other Options?

In the 21st century, many schools, parents, and tutors are still relying on outdated, disposable products that harm the environment. Here’s a quick comparison:

• Disposable Dry-Erase Boards (Whiteboards): These boards stain, shadow, and break over time.
• Write-and-Wipe Plastic Envelopes: These are prone to staining and falling apart.
• Stick-on Films: These peel off and require special pens that are expensive and hard to replace.

All these products eventually end up in Australia’s landfills, creating a significant environmental threat.

Retailers and manufacturers of these products benefit from your repeated purchases, as they wear out quickly, stain, and break. But what if you could invest in a product that lasts, saves you money, and reduces waste?

Why Our Writeboard is the Sustainable Choice:

• No Staining or Shadowing: Unlike disposable boards, our Writeboard doesn’t stain or shadow, providing a clean and clear surface every time.
• Multiple Uses: Use it with whiteboard markers, dry-erase crayons, watercolour paint, and even permanent markers.
• Durability That Lasts: Our Writeboard has a proven track record of over 15 years in schools without needing to be replaced, making it a cost-effective solution for years to come.

Make the sustainable choice for your child’s learning environment by investing in our Australian-made Writeboard, designed to last for years and protect the planet.
