In a digital-first world where keyboards and screens dominate, it’s easy to overlook the value of handwriting. Yet, research consistently shows that handwriting is a crucial skill, playing a fundamental role in a child’s cognitive development, literacy, and fine motor skills (Graham et al., 2012).
At Morrells Handwriting, we firmly believe that handwriting still matters, and we’re proud to champion this cause alongside Victor Stationery and RHINO Stationery.
Our partnership brings together trusted names in education to offer schools, teachers, parents, and pupils a consistent and effective approach to handwriting. Together, we provide a suite of easy-to-use resources and practice tools.
Handwriting: More Than Just a Skill
Handwriting is more than simply putting pen to paper. It helps children process and retain information, improves spelling and reading fluency, and boosts confidence in their academic journey (Graham & Harris, 2013).
Writing by hand also engages the parietal lobe, which is critical for hand-eye coordination and spatial processing (James & Engelhardt, 2012). However, achieving good handwriting isn’t automatic, it takes structured and supervised practice, clear guidance, and the right materials, including quality handwriting resources to unpick engrained bad habits and establish good habits to improve legibility.
That’s where our collaboration makes a real difference.
A Consistent Approach from School to Home
We’ve developed a unique system built around progressive, structured handwriting workbooks. From letter formation to joining letters, our resources are designed to support children of all abilities, including those with special educational needs. But structure alone isn’t enough, what matters is consistency. Handwriting instruction benefits from following a structured, evidence-based curriculum that supports the gradual acquisition of skills (Graham & Harris, 2005).
When the Morrells programme is systematically implemented across the whole school, teachers can ensure that the instruction is uniform and aligned with best practices, reducing any confusion for pupils as they progress.
By partnering with RHINO Stationery and Victor Stationery, we’re ensuring that children have access to the same handwriting-friendly resources across different learning environments. Our combined approach means that whether a child is practising handwriting in the classroom or at the kitchen table, they’re using exercise books and workbooks that support their development with clearly ruled lines and guidance.
Practice Makes Progress
RHINO exercise books are a natural fit for Morrells’ handwriting method. With high-quality paper and a variety of line formats, RHINO’s books are specifically designed to support the writing journey, from learning to form letters to mastering joined-up writing. Victor Stationery‘s commitment to educational excellence further enhances this offering, making it easier than ever for teachers and parents to give children the tools they need to succeed.
Our goal is to take the guesswork out of handwriting practice. Together, we offer a reliable, consistent system that builds muscle memory, supports letter sizing and spacing, and encourages children to take pride in their writing.
Supporting Every Learner
Whether it’s helping a child overcome difficulties with handwriting or supporting those ready to refine their joined writing, our resources cater to every stage of development. And with our joined-up support teachers can feel confident in delivering results that last.
Handwriting Matters—And We’re Here to Help
At Morrells Handwriting, Victor Stationery, and RHINO Stationery, we know that putting pen to paper still has a powerful place in learning. Our partnership is built on a shared belief: when children are equipped with the right tools, support, and encouragement, handwriting becomes more than a skill, it becomes a lifelong skill.
