Victorian slate boards were mostly used by children in schools. Children used slate boards to learn how to write and spell.
Victorians typically used slate pencils, which were small sticks of natural slate, to write on slate boards. These slate boards were a common writing surface for children in schools during the Victorian era, as they were reusable and easy to clean. The slate pencil would leave a mark on the board, and when needed, the writing could be wiped off with a damp cloth. This method was practical and economical for education at the time.

At school it was normal to write with a slate penicil on a piece of slate (the slate pencil could be make of clay, soft slate, soapstone or chalk). The main advantage of slate was that it the marks could be erased and the slate could be reused.
A piece of slate on which to write with chalk is called a "slate board" or simply "slate." Historically used in classrooms, it served as a reusable writing surface for students before the advent of paper. The slate is typically rectangular and smooth, allowing for easy writing and erasing with chalk.
The slate pencil, typically made of a mixture of graphite and clay, does not have a single inventor but rather evolved over time. Its origins can be traced back to the use of graphite in the 16th century, particularly in Borrowdale, England, where natural graphite was first mined and shaped into writing instruments. The modern manufacture of slate pencils began in the 19th century as the demand for durable writing tools increased.
