Our Work

Research and Media

“Research into handwriting programmes indicates that there are well over 25 such schemes in the U.K market. Which one a school selects appears to be a random choice, often based on tradition or the ease in which worksheets can be printed off and reproduced to the class.”

4 out of 10 boys and 25% of girls aged 11 fail to meet the required standards for their writing in their national tests “from London University’s Institute of Education,”

“Research has shown that handwriting wires the brain for learning” University of Wisconsin psychologist Virginia Berninger

“Examinations now allocate extra marks in exams for neat handwriting”

Handwriting Mastery for Schools:

"Empowering Academic Success and Enhancing School Excellence"

Incorporating the MagicLink handwriting improvement program by STEMSIGMA into the educational curriculum offers schools and academic institutions a strategic advantage, aligning closely with their educational mandates. This initiative significantly elevates the academic framework by fostering student success and holistic development within the educational ecosystem.

  1. Enhancement of Academic Skills:
  • Direct Impact on Learning: Good handwriting is not just about the aesthetics of writing but also plays a crucial role in academic performance. It improves reading comprehension, as students can read their notes more easily, and enhances exam performance through clearer presentation of answers.
  • Cognitive Development: The process of learning and improving handwriting activates various cognitive processes, including memory, attention to detail, and visual planning, contributing to overall brain development.
  1. Support for Diverse Learning Needs:
  • Inclusivity: Handwriting improvement programs can be particularly beneficial for students with learning differences, such as dyslexia or dysgraphia, by providing tailored strategies that aid in their learning process, thus promoting inclusivity within the school community.
  • Personalized Learning: The flexibility to adjust learning pace within the program ensures that students with different learning speeds and styles can benefit, aligning with educational companies’ commitment to cater to individual student needs.
  1. Contribution to Personal Development:
  • Confidence Building: Mastery of clear and confident handwriting can significantly boost a student’s self-esteem, particularly in younger students, contributing to a more positive self-image and willingness to participate in class.
  • Discipline and Persistence: The structured nature of handwriting programs, which often include practice and homework, teaches students the value of discipline, persistence, and the rewards of consistent effort.
  1. Enhanced Extracurricular Portfolio:
  • Unique Skillset: Students proficient in excellent handwriting can stand out in their academic and extracurricular portfolio, providing an edge in school applications and later, in professional opportunities.
  • Creative Expression: Beyond the functional benefits, improved handwriting can foster creativity, enabling students to explore artistic elements of writing, such as calligraphy, which can be a form of creative expression and stress relief.
  1. Support for Teachers and Educational Outcomes:
  • Teaching Aid: Teachers can leverage improved handwriting skills to facilitate better learning outcomes across subjects, as students can take more effective notes, and assignments are easier to evaluate.
  • Alignment with Educational Goals: Integrating a handwriting improvement program supports schools’ and educational companies’ broader goals of fostering well-rounded, confident learners capable of expressing themselves clearly and effectively in various contexts.
