Case: Student Handwriting
With the increased rigor in our Kindergarten standards, there just doesn't seem to be time to explicitly teach our students how to correctly form letters and numbers. 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 hear what you are saying and I believe it is super important to continue to teach handwriting. I teach first grade and we use a series called Handwriting without Tears. This is a good series. Handwriting should be taught in Kindergarten, first and into second grades. In third grade,the students learn cursive. It is such a foundational skill, yet we are expecting the students to pick it up naturally without any guidance. We should take the time at the beginning of the year to teach the correct letter formation, then we practice all year. |

Comments: I would use this suggestion if i were in her shoes. There are several different types of handwriting booklets out there, or be able to print out handwriting sheets offline. Doing handwriting throughout the year would be the best solution. |

Comments: This solution is the best because it offers a resource for other educators to use to teach their students handwriting. This is important because it is not addressed in standards and yet is something that is still important for children to have the skill of. |
