Choosing a book

Which book is right for my child?

  • Ages 4–6: Beautiful Handwriting or the 3-Part Series. These build letter formation, then words and short sentences.
  • Ages 6–9: Speed Writing in Improved Handwriting – Book A.
  • Ages 9 and above, including adults: Speed Writing in Improved Handwriting – Book B.
  • Ages 10 and above: Calligraphy – Art of Beautiful Handwriting.

Which script should I choose?

Choose the script your child's school uses, so practice at home matches the classroom.

  • Cursive: joined handwriting.
  • Print: separate letters.
  • MR (Marion Richardson): semi-cursive.
  • Hindi and Marathi: Devanagari handwriting.

Not sure? Send us a photo of your child's school notebook on WhatsApp and we'll tell you which script it is.

Should we start with Book A or Book B?

Book A is for ages 6–9. Book B is for ages 9 and above, and for adults. If your child is 9 or 10 and has never practised handwriting, start with Book A. The Book A + Book B combo covers both and costs less than buying them separately.

How does the 30-day plan work?

Each Speed Writing book has a short practice page for every day, for 30 days. The plan moves step by step from letters to words and sentences, with a speed check along the way. Plan for about 30–45 minutes a day, depending on your writing speed.

Can adults use these books?

Yes. Speed Writing Book B and the Calligraphy book are suitable for adults who want neater, faster handwriting.
