HANDWRITING
I also work with many children who have difficulty mastering handwriting. Handwriting is an important skill that children need to learn despite the increasing use of computers. Children spend much of their day writing and it is important that they develop a comfortable way of holding their pen or pencil. However, some children struggle with handwriting and this when they are often referred to an occupational therapist or a specialist teacher.
Children who struggle with their handwriting may feel distressed and frustrated, which in turn may lead to very poor self esteem.
Some children need to be encouraged to slow down when writing as they may have a fast mind and a slow pen!
However, there are also many children who need to be re-taught the mechanics of writing which include improving their pencil grip, correct letter directions and showing how letters are linked to each other to form cursive writing. Posture may often be very poor and children have learnt bad habits.
Targeted intervention produces noticeable results for most children.
