(9.) Handwriting/Penmanship Instruction

Contrary to the view that handwriting is a trivial skill, handwriting actually is important for a number of reasons!

Handwriting is a basic tool used in many subjects – taking notes, taking tests, and doing classroom work and homework for almost every content area as well as in language arts classes – poor handwriting can have a pervasive effect on school performance.

After a long period of neglect in education, attention to teaching handwriting in the primary grades may finally be returning back to a needed focus. This attention can benefit many youngsters, including those with learning disabilities (LDs) involving handwriting, which may accompany reading disabilities, writing disabilities, nonverbal learning disabilities, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Moreover, when handwriting is perceived as arduous and time-consuming, motivation to write may be greatly reduced, leading to a lack of practice that may further compound difficulties with writing. Handwriting in the earliest grades is linked to basic reading and spelling achievement; for example, when children learn how to form the letter m, they can also be learning its sound. Attention to the linkages among handwriting, reading, and spelling skills can help to reinforce early achievement across these areas.

Areas of focus will be the following:

I.   Importance of Handwriting

II. Writing

1. Manuscript
2. Cursive

III. Instruction of Handwriting

IV. Assessment of Handwriting skills

1. Incorporate observations of execution, legibility, and speed of writing.
