As students progress through the grade levels, I often hear complaints that their handwriting is atrocious. Is the explicit teaching of handwriting important, even if it isn't a standard? If so, when do you teach it, and with what resources? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would focus on this on a case by case basis with students. Some of them will not need direct instruction on handwriting while others might need the additional practice. Handwriting practice could be given to those individual students to complete at home as they probably will not need much assistance with it, just time to practice.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think in kindergarten, all students need to participate in practicing their handwriting skills.

If anything, they would just rush through it and it would just appear worse overall. If you're going to give homework like that out, it needs to include everyone.
