Year 1 is when children start to find their independence in the classroom. They're learning to read and write — properly now — and the teacher who guides that process shapes how a child feels about learning for years to come. At the end of Year 1, that teacher deserves a gift that reflects what they actually did.
This book gives your child a way to say thank you in their own handwriting, for perhaps the first time.
You order it on Amazon — it arrives in 1 to 4 business days. When it arrives, your child sits down with it and finds printed questions about their year: what they learnt, what made them laugh, what their favourite moment was, what they'll miss. At five or six years old, they're beginning to write independently — and sitting down with these questions is a chance to use those new skills for something that matters.
The handwriting will be early. Letters may be backwards. Spellings will be phonetic. That is exactly what makes this gift irreplaceable. This book captures your child at five or six — beginning to write, beginning to express themselves — and that moment doesn't come back.
There's also a QR code. You film your child saying a few words to their teacher, upload the video by scanning the code inside the book, and the teacher watches it by scanning their own code. No account needed, no personal data stored.
The book also includes lined pages and to-do pages for the teacher's daily use. Videos are automatically deleted 7 days after first viewing, or 2 months if never viewed.
Year 1 handwriting is something parents never want to forget. This book makes sure the teacher doesn't forget it either.
