13% of our children are left-handed today but, sadly, very little recognition is given to the left-handed learner in the classroom, the sports field or in day to day living. Very few people realise that in order for a child to learn the vital fine motor skills such as cutting, drawing, letter and number formation, the left-handed learner needs to be taught in a different way to a right-handed child.
Children learn by copying actions and as most parents and teachers are likely to be right-handed, a left-handed child can often be confused by the actions. It is, therefore, no surprise that a left-handed child is more likely to be in some form of occupational therapy or remedial education that a right-handed child.
Our aim is to provide the equipment and training through our resources and educational programmes to make sure that the left-handed child has every chance of succeeding in the classroom.
OUR STATIONERY
We offer a range of left-handed stationery items such as:
Left-handed scissors, training scissors, easy grips and self-opening scissors.
Imported rubber pencil grips for left- and right-handed learners encourage a tripod grip and removes the ‘hooked’ grip so common in left-handers.
Left-handed pencil sharpeners – two holes with waste container. Perfect size for little hands!
Left-handed ruler – ideal size for small children – numbers run from right to left for easy viewing by the left-handed child.
WORKBOOKS AND GUIDES
Left-hand Learning now has in stock a wonderful range of letter and number
formation books. Let's Learn the Alphabet and Let's Learn to Write Numbers

left-handed formation with practice sheets and tracing exercises as well as
colour recognition. Available exclusively from Left-hand Learning at R45
per book.
Guide to Teaching the Left-Handed Learner – a vital book for any teacher working with left-handed children. Brand new edition covers teaching of all fine motor skills as well as what else to watch out for in the classroom as well as photocopiable practice sheets for the left- and right-handers in your class.
