Cover of Left Hand, Strong Hand

Left Hand, Strong Hand

On an ordinary tracing page the example letter sits on the left — so a left-handed child covers it with their own hand the moment they start. This book moves the example to the right, where a hand travelling rightwards never reaches it.

What’s inside

  • All twenty-six capitals and the numbers zero to nine, one page each, grouped by how the hand makes them — straight lines, then curves, then diagonals — not A to Z.
  • The example always at the right-hand end of every row, in a box marked "look here", with a start dot on every letter so nobody guesses where to begin.
  • Short practice rows instead of long left-to-right sweeps, so there is less to smudge.
  • How to turn the paper, where to sit, and which pencils smudge least, plus a grown-up note on every page.
  • Single-sided printing throughout.

Who this is for

About one child in ten writes with their left hand, and their hand travels along behind the pencil — across everything printed to its left. That is the whole problem, and the whole book is the layout that solves it.
