Playful early reading & writing
Helping you be your child's first, and happiest, teacher.
Hi, I'm Niz. A teacher, a maker of learning things, and a mum, just like you.
I make playful, hands-on resources for the everyday moments at home, and I'd love to share them with you. Here's something free to start with.
Lovely. Check your inbox for the guide (give it a few minutes to arrive).
I'll send the guide straight over, along with the occasional idea to help you along. No spam, and you can leave anytime.
A little something to start with
My Ready to Write guide, yours to keep.
How I hope to help
Not a shop, just a teacher and mum sharing what works. For parents of little ones roughly ages 3 to 7, somewhere between loving to scribble and sounding out first words.
Something free to begin with
My Ready to Write guide: 34 playful activities that gently build little hands for writing. No worksheets, no prep.
A gentle hand through the early years
From first strokes to phonics to early reading, in plain language and never clinical.
New playful resources as I make them
The kind I use with my own children and the children I teach, always tried out first.
A calmer place to begin
Especially on the days you are not sure what comes next. One good idea at a time, at your child's pace.
A peek inside your free guide
Ready to Write moves through three gentle stages. Go in order, or just pick whatever looks fun today.
Build strong hands
Squeezing, pinching and tearing that build the small muscles behind a pencil grip.
Train steady control
Threading, pouring and aiming that grow the careful, precise movements writing needs.
Practise the strokes
The lines, circles and crosses that letters are made of, leading gently towards writing.
I've worn a few hats over the years: a teacher, a maker of learning things, and a mum. Through all of it, one belief has stayed with me. You are your child's first teacher, and your involvement matters more than any worksheet or app. So I make playful, no-pressure resources and share them with you, because learning is happiest when we do it together. I'm so glad you're here.
