1 | Laying down good foundations
The P2P range is a family of products comprising of ‘Pegs to Paper’ for literacy and ‘P2P Count Up’ for numeracy. The focus of the activities are centred around copying patterns onto pegboards.
From letter formation to early number sense, the products help to enhance all basic cognitive processes for mastering skills of literacy and numeracy, while forming strong connections in the brain which stimulate learning.
2 | Developed with experts
Dr Angela Webb, a former primary school head teacher, who is a child psychologist and board member of the national Handwriting Association has been an instrumental player in developing the P2P range.
Christina Wood, a lead school improvement advisor for mathematics has also had a key role in developing the support material for the numeracy section ‘P2P Count Up’.
3 | Fun, engaging, even for boys
Helen, head teacher at Ann Edwards Primary School recalls: “One of the biggest differences we noted was the increased engagement by all pupils but particularly boys to the resources. The physical development as well as their desire to go to writing activities has really increased.”
4 | Was displayed in the British Library
The Giant Pegboard was on display in an exhibition at the British Library called ‘Writing: Making Your Mark’ last summer. It was included as an example of one of the modern ways in which handwriting is taught today.
