VIC, NT & WA School Handwriting

Unfortunately there are many educational supply shops & people on the internet selling the wrong VIC, NT, & WA handwriting fonts, worksheets, flashcards etc. on a daily basis.

The font that most schools in VIC, WA and NT use is called VIC Modern Cursive Font.

You will have the peace of mind that your child will be learning...using the right VIC, NT, & WA letters or numbers!

We also have the only eco-friendly reusable writing board that can be placed over any worksheet or book!

NSW & ACT Handwriting for School

It's important to know that schools in New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) use a specific handwriting font called NSW Foundation Font also known as Foundation Font.

Numerous online educational suppliers and retailers frequently offer NSW and ACT handwriting fonts, worksheets, and flashcards that are often inaccurate. Despite their correct labeling, a significant portion of these resources is generated using fonts that mimic the prescribed styles but are ultimately incorrect.

Using the correct font ensures your child learns using the right NSW and ACT letters and numbers, giving you peace of mind about their education!

We also have the only eco-friendly reusable writing board that can be placed over any worksheet or book.

What is Australia's Shame?  

• 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 ten 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.

WHO CARES? DO YOU CARE?

Why Learning to Form Letters is So Important for Your Child

As your child learns to write they will also develop the ability for learning to read.

• When your child begins to write, they will form their letters from the top down. This is the same pattern they will use for reading (as they will read from the top of the page down).
• Your child will learn to form letters in words from left to right, which again is the same pattern as they will read a page from a book.

• As your child learns to form letters, the movements needed to create a letter are stored in their memory, just the same as the movements for sitting down or standing up are stored. When your child learns to read they can call upon this memory to remember how the letters were formed on the page and then work out what letters they are.
• Both writing and reading use the same memory to absorb information, then to analyse and use the information.

Please understand how important this link is for Your child

In Australia there are five different handwriting styles used in schools, you can read more about this in our blog called Aussie Kids Write Five Different Ways

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:

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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 these people 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 fourteen 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.

Help Your Child Learn by Renewing Their Confidence

These days, tutors are making a fortune, simply because your child has lost confidence in learning somewhere along the way.

• Combine this with pier pressure and a loss of faith in themselves and your child's self esteem will have taken an even bigger hit.
• Your child has simply lost the burning to desire to try new things as they see it as a step to failure and no one likes to fail!

I understand exactly how they feel, do you?

• Let me ask you...If every time you attempted something new (e.g. trying a new recipe, home renovating or even planting a new plant) you knew at the end of it you were going to be judged by an expert and measured against others that had attempted the same task...How would you feel? 

I know I would feel pressured and uncertain of my fate and that in turn would create a fear of even trying out these new ventures.

• Even though it is not documented, there is pressure on our kids to keep up with the rest of the class.
• When they cannot achieve this milestone, parents are then encouraged to get some outside help.

I have personally spoken to some of these private tutors who earn up to $100.00 per hour for this extra help. This is an outrageous amount of money to attain an outcome of giving our kids more confidence.

• Teachers are under more pressure than ever, and if a child is struggling they often do not have the time to give them individual attention, however, that is not their fault.

How can you help your child to excel?

• With the invention of the Writeboard (our reusable writing board), your child can actually trace an exact copy of what they are learning. They can do this over and over again until they are confident enough to attempt it without a worksheet to guide them! 

• When your child makes a mistake, they can simply erase it and correct it without any harsh criticism from anyone. 
• Your child can achieve a score of 100 out of 100 every time they use our Writeboard.

• Kids love using our reusable writing board.

Turn learning into fun rather than a frightening and tiresome task

• As a parent you will witness a huge increase in your child's confidence and self esteem when they use our Writeboard. 
• Your child will no longer be frightened of failure or being judged as they can learn any subject with the Writeboard!

Let our Writeboard put a smile back on your child's face!

Our Eco-Friendly Writeboard had been in schools for over nine years now and unlike other disposable products that end up in our landfill year after year (e.g. dry-erase boards, laminates, stick on films etc.), these same Writeboards are still being used today.

Australian Handwriting For Your Child

• Walk into any big Department store in Australia and you will find an educational section that is supposedly devoted to helping your child's education.
• Discount stores also have write-on boards with the alphabet on them and sometimes books as well.  

What these stores do not tell you as the parent is that:

• You are teaching your child the wrong way to write.
• The educational materials that you are purchasing do not even slightly resemble the shape or the angle of any of the letters or numbers that are taught in any Australian school.

• Pictured above is a book that even comes with a free pen so you can teach your child to form their alphabet the wrong way over and over again.
• You will notice the 3+ on the book, encouraging you as a parent to start teaching them the wrong way to write straight away.

If you take this path (which many parents do because they think they are helping their child) by the time your child gets to school they will be even further behind in the class than a child that has not even began to start to learn to form their letters and numbers. 

How do you think your child would feel?

• First of all they would be totally confused - mum wouldn't teach me the wrong way?
• Their self esteem would have taken a huge hit - they thought that they were so good, "Mum and Grandma had been telling everyone how good I am".
• And lastly the feeling of being dumb or less adequate - such a horrible feeling.

Unfortunately this happens too often!

This is not your fault, however, that doesn't make it any easier for you when you watch your poor child suffering and having to learn to form their letters and numbers all over again.

• The book pictured above prompts you to buy this to help you child get ahead. We have all heard about NAPLAN on the news and you know that this is the way your child will be measured against their classmates and other children in Australia.
• No one is telling you that this is NOT the way your child will learn to form letters at any Australian school.

Here are more pictures of department stores selling the wrong educational materials for your child.

• Now I can hear some of you saying, at my school they write like that and to tell you the truth I don't blame you, as no one has told you any different.
• Over the nine years that Writeboards have been in business we have had parents tell us that we have the wrong handwriting and at their child's school they do not write like that. Of course they were wrong; however, I understand how confused parents are. 
  
  
• The other huge factor is that we trust big department stores and if they are selling them, surely they must be right? After all the sign says "Trusted by teachers", why wouldn't you believe that as a parent, I know I would if I didn't know any different.

• Most of these products are imported from overseas and completed using a font called Bat and Ball (also known as stick and ball). 
• When you purchase this educational material, all you are really doing is making a donation to these companies and teaching your child the wrong way to form both their letters and numbers.

Writeboards Offer an Ironclad 100% Money Back Guarantee that we use the Best Fonts in the World for Your Child!

If you would like to know the right way that your child is supposed to write for your individual State school go to Worksheets for Australian Children.

Note: While I was out taking these photos I spoke to one of the employees who had worked in that particular department store for five years. She had no idea that all of the educational material was wrong; she had even purchased it for her own child.

Writeboards encourages you as a parent, grandparent etc. to spread this blog to as many people as possible so children in Australia do not have to suffer this heartache.
