Enhancing Handwriting and Literacy with Skriva Stylus. Using technology to help pupils 'Love Learning' at Aberdeenshire Council.

September 11, 2024

Implementing Skriva Stylus:

Aberdeenshire purchased styluses for their lending library to support a large-scale project focussing on improving literacy outcomes across Aberdeenshire schools.  The Skriva Stylus helps schools to see what is possible when using a stylus in class. Schools can also play around and see how that works on the iPad. Teachers like that there are no more lost pen lids in class, and the Skriva doesn't run out of battery quickly because it will switch itself off if idle after five minutes.

Improving handwriting:

Using the Skriva Stylus helps pupils to work at their own pace in the classroom. For teachers, it enables fast and effective feedback so children can easily see where they need to adjust their work, allowing them to progress with their handwriting. Using a stylus facilitates creativity and supports muscle memory for handwriting.

Pupils are more engaged with handwriting as the Skriva shape replicates an HB pencil. Pupils can see instantly whether they are improving as their learning journey is more personalised, and they can see instantly how they are progressing.
