"Right from the beginning, I wanted a device for showing letter placement, an aid to help when orienting one letter next to another on a line.
After some experimentation, the seahorse character proved to be the obvious choice, with its conspicuous head, its rounded body, and its distinctive tail. It became a friendly guide for young learners to dive safely into the ocean of handwriting."

Why Teachers Love Targeting Handwriting

As the Director of a busy tutoring centre, I see firsthand the important role that handwriting plays in student success, across all year levels. The Targeting Handwriting series by Pascal Press is a valuable resource not just for primary students, but even for high schoolers who benefit from revisiting the fundamentals of legible, fluent handwriting.

Targeting Handwriting is a fantastic resource used in Australian schools. It’s perfect for helping children who are just starting to write, guiding them to practise the alphabet in the correct order from the very beginning. Thank you for these wonderful resources, our Anna Kids friends absolutely loved them!

Targeting Handwriting has changed the way I teach writing. The sequence is so clear, and the lessons are easy to follow- even relief teachers can step in and continue seamlessly. I've seen a real improvement in my students' fine motor skills and writing stamina. They're proud of their work and more willing to write across all subjects.
