LeftHand
NZ's WOWO
Workbook: "Write-on Wipe-off Workbook for teaching Handwriting Skills to LEFT-HANDED Children." |
|
| This resource is
the best one to start with when a young child shows signs of being
left-handed as it ensures that the left-hander learns best practices
and habits right from the very beginning. It is ideally suited for left-handed
children from age 4 and upwards. But it can also
be used to good effect
by older left-handers who did not get the correct grounding
in learning how to write at
an early age. For FULL and detailed information about this wonderful resource and to read feedback about it from parents and teachers, please visit this page. |

|
| This
wonderful
teaching resource is now also available in e-book format.
This
format is especially for our international visitors. Now all
young lefty children can benefit from this excellent resource without
it being out of their parent's reach due to high international postage
costs! Please note: The price for this item is listed in the shopping cart as $13.10 NZD. You need to select the first shipping option on the list - that is ship to "Anywhere in NZ." This will add $5.90 to the $13.10 NZD and bring the total amount you will be billed to $19.00 NZD. We have had to set it up this way because PayMate's shopping cart does not currently have an option for no shipping costs at all. If you are confused - just email us and we'll take it from there! Also please ensure that you fill in your email address correctly on PayMate's website so that we can email the e-book to you! |
