For one of my kiddos once I had her practice good handwriting just for handwriting (this did include recopying a final draft for any writing assignments) and not for anything else she almost completely stopped complaining about spelling and writing assignments. I told her as long as I could read it that was good enough unless it was handwriting practice.

That gives them enough practice to not just learn to write well, but to practice with purpose until mastery.

I am thinking just having my kids focus on good handwriting on their writing assignments, spelling, etc rather than do a formal handwriting program this year (grades 2 and 5). I figured it's one less thing to do, plus my younger can focus on print before cursive next year and my older can hone her cursive. Do you have them do a formal curriculum up to a specific age? Or find that doing so helps a lot more or depends on each kid at all?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054970128811467026noreply@blogger.com
