To Whom it May Concern;

 

I recently purchased a variety of items from Writeboards for my child care centre and I am delighted with these items.

 

The Writeboards Director came to give me a personal demonstration of her products and to explain the benefits of the boards to me. I was so impressed with the products and the accessories that I ordered several for my centre and ran a fundraiser to offer families an opportunity to purchase Writeboards to use at home.

 

Writeboards are now being used in every room in my centre. Downstairs our under 3 year old children finger paint, stamp paint and free paint and draw on the boards. They love looking at their creative designs in 3D and as the artwork can easily be erased they are a great trial and error activity for children.

 

Upstairs our older children use the boards freely to express themselves or with one of the many templates that helps to promote pencil grasp, letter and number recognition, letter and number formation and numeracy and literacy skills.

 

As our centre is currently exploring ways to become more sustainable and to help our planet, Writeboards supports us to meet our goal of using less paper in our cirriculum. If an artwork or activity is worthy of retaining, it can easily be photocopied, scanned or photocopied but if not, it can be wiped clean in seconds.

 

I highly recommend this product and company to other child care centres as well as to any one working with children of young people.

Practical Home Schooling Product


There are so many things that I love about Writeboards and the hundreds of templates.
From a home schooling point of view, the product is in my "Top Ten Must Have Resources".

 

  1. Designed and Made in Australia so they are sturdy and well made. They will never wear out or need replacing. The only problem you will have is deciding how many boards your family (or friends) will need.
  2. One Writeboard and a few programs provide endless practice of an independent nature in a vast array of subjects.
  3. Very economical product - you only need to purchase once for your family and this will provide years of practice.
  4. Compact enough to be portable. Your child can bring along bookwork to complete during appointments, meetings, morning tea dates, etc.
  5. Provides many opportunities to practice so your child isn't stuck with an error.
  6. A great independent activity for younger siblings to do while older children are doing bookwork. This encourages in them a sense of independence and achievement.
  7. Able to reuse 'consumable books' for younger siblings. Additional uses are tracing picutres, using dot to dot books, just to name a few.
  8. You can choose the handwriting font you wish to use with your children, not being restricted to your geographical location or choices with previous children.

Thanks Writeboards for developing such a wonderful product! I am thankful that you are continually adding to the range and seeking to improve and expand the nature of the templates.

To Whom It May Concern;

 

I have been buying books for my children aged 12, 9 and 5 for many years for extra work to help them at school.
To start with, I had my 12 year old write in pencil so I could erase them easily and use them again for my two younger children.

 

I was yet to discover that they could still see the answers and they would write exactly what my eldest had written, whether the answer was right or wrong. If I added up all the money that I have spent over the years, buying books that ranged from $9.95 to $23.95, I could have saved myself a fortune if Writeboards had been on the market then.

 

Now that I have purchased two Writeboards, my children can use these books over and over again. What a brilliant idea, not only saving me lots of money, but also saving the environment.

The books that I now buy for my 12 or 9 year old, I now put away for future use, plus I have found that my children now enjoy using the books a lot more, as they get to use their Writeboard.

Thank you for the money you have saved me

 

Kelly Tingle (grateful mother of 3)

The Writeboard has so many different uses... not only do my students use it as a valuable tool for practicing
their handwriting, we use it for painting and printing lesson in Creative Art sessions. The templates can be
used as is or you can create your own. It cuts down on paper usage when students are trialling various
handwriting techniques and learning to write their names. (Teacher K-6, Sydney)

To Writeboards,

I purchased your product for my 3 year old grand-daughter and it has helped her remarkably in developing
her understanding of words, letters and numbers.

To my pleasant surprise my 14 year old grandson whilst helping her, started using it as well, just for fun. He
was drawing pictures and playing games such as naughts and crosses, fill in the dots and hangman all this without
using paper as he would have normally.

I think your product is wonderful, not only for education but also for fun and it is extremely good for the environment.

I write this letter to thank you for such a wonderful idea.

From a grateful grandmother
Christine Wilson

To Writeboards,

I have 2 daughters and I am quite blessed having a step mother that has a background in early childhood, plus family
friends who are also in the education business. We have had lots of recommendations from others in terms of learning
support. We got put onto Writeboards about a year ago more as a support for their writing and to practice spelling etc.

 

I am more than happy to write a testimonial for you, as I really feel that they are brilliant at supporting kids learning.
Prior to Writeboards, we used to use the old fashion etch a sketch to get them to practice and of course there is no comparison!



As an example of how well the girls are going, my 6 year old tried to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and only got
4 letters wrong. Both my 5 and 6 year old's handwriting is exceptionally good for their age group, as is their spelling,
and there is no doubt that your product has helped.

My kids love the Writeboards. My 4 year old is do fascinated he stop talking when he uses the Writeboard!
My 6 years old has developed a new use and uses it for her artwork. She draws and then gets me to scan the
work into the computer and print it out. Using a photo of herself underneath the Writeboard, she was able
to grasp a better understanding of the size relationship and placement of facial features as she traced her
own face (JG, Sydney)

The Writeboard has helped my 5 year old write letters correctly. she had developed the habit of drawing
letters as if they were a shape. The Writeboard has fixed this problem by demonstrating the correct order
of movements when writing a letter. (Julie, Engadine)

Hi Writeboards,

Thank you for a wonderful tool. My 5 year old son with low muscle tone and living with ASD is loving it. He will be attending mainstream school next year. The past 18 months we have been transitioning him to school, working on his muscle tone and developing his core body strength.

The Writeboard is the perfect tool for the next step to get him to write letters and draw images. He is very happy that he can draw an aeroplane his favourite thing in the world. I am loving the fact he sits still and attends to something for more than a few minutes. I have attached a picture of his beautiful aeroplane.

Best Regards

Christa Robat

To Whom It May Concern:

 

My tutors use Writeboards with their students in all three of my centres.


The tutors have made the following comments:

It helps M*** especially as he doesn't know where to start his letters, or numbers. He is making good progress
after practicing on the rub out board.

My early readers like Writeboards, it they make an error they can rub it out and do it again straight away.

After using the Writeboards E***** now knows that we go from left to right. It is ease for him to use
because the pen is thick and easier to hold than a pencil. It is helping him remember the sounds he wants
to write now, when before it was a battle to get him to settle to the task

We have had Writeboards for six weeks now and I can see then being used a great deal with my students.

Best Regards

Hi Writeboards,

Thanks so much for a great invention! My 7 year old just loves being able to write, draw and paint on the Writeboard.
She feels just like the teacher!

 

I am looking forward to getting the Alphabet Range for my little boy. He will love the great pictures and being able to
trace the letters with his finger.

 

I love to be able to give my kids things that are useful and that last.
Writeboards is a great Educational tool/ toy/ game, that my kids will use for years!

Regards,

Gayl Ellis

Hi Writeboards,

Just wanted to let you know that we've had the Writeboard a week now and Darcy is absolutely loving using it.
We keep printing off separate sheets from his download in order to practice the alphabet. He is really excited
about writing and thought you'd like to know.

Thanks and Regards

To Writeboards;

I love my Writeboards. Every school should purchase some. My students are making progress quickly.
They love the success. They understand where to write and the direction to go. They feel great
when they can rub out mistakes without anyone seeing the error!

Thanks

To Whom it May Concern:

Thank you for the pdf file. Jett has been using his Writeboard and found it Fun to use so far.

I will recommend your product to my childcare centre as I am sure other parents in his centre would find this
product quite helpful (saving paper and ink helps).

Thank You

Alice

Hi Writeboards,

Just a quick not to tell you that my two boys love their Writeboards. I can have them doing activities on their
Writeboards for long periods of time, without them even realising that they are doing work!

Noah absolutely loves tracing his alphabet and drawing whatever he likes with his textas, with no worry of mummy
getting cross.

Regards

Kids don't need to apply much pressure when learning to write. the Writeboard gives young children the ability to make their mark on the world long before they can use a pencil on paper. (Kindergarten Teacher, NSW)

Writeboards receive many phone calls from customers telling us how wonderful the product is. Listed below are a small selection of comments that we have received by phone:

 

  • My son was practicing his letters on the Writeboard on Saturday afternoon. A friend of mine dropped in and said to him "are you doing schoolwork", he said "no this is not schoolwork, this is fun".

 

  • My son was struggling with writing his name correctly. After one week of using his Writeboard, he can now write his name perfectly. I had previously spent hours trying to get him to do this, yet he had no interest in practicing on paper, as he saw that as boring work. Once we got the Writeboard, he wanted to do it every day.

 

  • My daughter had no idea that her letters had to start and finish in a particular place, she would start anywhere. I gave her the dots with the directions template and after about 3 hours (in total) spent with the Writeboard she now understands the whole concept. Her teacher is so happy.

 

  • My daughter spent hours tracing pictures that were in your drawing pack. The amount of paper that she saved, I can only begin to imagine. The most amazing thing is that she is now becoming quite proficient at drawing without tracing anything. She loves her Writeboard.

  • I have taught my four year old son how to tell the hourly time by using your Learn to tell the Time course (Stage 1). He has spent hours playing with the big clock under the Writeboard and drawing hands on the clock. We play a fun game where he draws the hands on the clock and I have to tell him what time it is. Two out of every three times I deliberately get the answer wrong and he corrects me quite promptly.
