With not being at school it's easy to type everything on an ipad or laptop. So use this to perfect your handwriting techniques.

2. Are you sitting comfortably?

When your child is writing, make sure they are sitting comfortably with their feet touching the floor (or a footrest). Writing is easier when you have a stable body.

3. Match the school

Be sure to find out what handwriting style your child is learning at school. Consistency is key, so it is important not to correct something that you think is an error but that is actually part of the style your child is learning.

4. Write in the sand

Give your child opportunities to do some non-permanent writing. This takes the pressure off early writers - if their handwriting isn't perfect, they can just wash or brush it away and start again.

Write in the sand at the beach. Write in the mud at the park. Fill a clear sandwich bag that closes with some washing-up liquid and glitter; get your child to write (gently) on this. Ask your child to write letters or words on your back with their finger - can you guess what it is?

5. Get crafty

Continue to encourage your child to draw, colour, paint, and do crafting activities at home using a range of different materials. These activities all provide opportunities to develop control, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.

Add some writing to the crafts - can they write with chalk, paint brushes or crayons? Can they make an attractive sign for their door or books?

6. Practice makes perfect

Good handwriting needs lots of practise. Practise handwriting with your child a few times every week - perhaps using the week's spelling words. This will help them to develop good habits and strong muscles in their hands (and good spelling). Use special handwriting paper to check the position of each letter.

We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished over the last 100 days of lockdown and although we sought a way forward we could not find a sustainable solution. We would like to thank all our young writers and listeners for their contributions and we hope they enjoyed the shows as much as we did in producing them. We would also like to thank the incredible array of authors, poets and musicians who freely gave their time and wisdom to the project. The belief and support that they gave helped us to feel that what we were doing was worthwhile.

It is difficult to list everyone who has supported the show, but we would like to acknowledge, in particular, the huge contribution that Rachel Orr made to the project recording songs for us; the very vocal support of Larraine Harrison, Claire Kilgour and SF Said; and finally all the teachers, parents and children who wrote and recorded stories, poems, reports, comments and much more throughout. Without you our project would have died a long time ago.

All our shows will remain on RadioBlogging.Net for as long as there is demand for them and in due course we will be producing a catalogue to enable you to search for individual authors, types of writing, teacher notes and more. We hope that this will become a resource that can be dipped into to support learning for a long time to come.

Thank you for joining us on our journey,

David, Ian John, Pie and Russell

Welcome to RadioBlogging - daily shows with interactive activities to keep everyone busy and engaged, brought to you by Pie Corbett, Deputy Mitchell, Ian Rockey and Russell Prue, just listen and blog, it's live, fun and interactive.

What is RadioBlogging?

RadioBlogging.Net is a LIVE daily radio broadcast that teaches literacy and is aimed at families and schools. It's interactive so that children can write and their work is published during and after the show, with immediate feedback to develop children's learning. Each day there are spelling, grammar and vocabulary games, followed by creative writing and the opportunity to respond to a guest author's reading. Each show features either a poet or author of the day. All posts are moderated and there is a team of educators and professionals who respond to the children's writing. It is an innovative project combining education radio and blogging to enhance and support continuous learning provision at this critical time.
