MI5 – NEW for 2010

With the help of Lois Addy, Occupational Therapist, MI5 is a fun and innovative way to help children understand the impact of pen pressure. A child who applies too much pressure is tested as Agent P to only inform the next agent about the top secret mission, using the MI5 pad. A child who doesn't apply enough pressure, is asked to inform up to 3 other agents. It helps children to improve by showing them the impact on their handwriting.
