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!)
It could be part of the daily routine as part of the standards that have to be taught. See if you can find time to work it in as part of your routine first thing in the morning and after taking a look at who many need direct instruction in this area create an activity to do with this group while others are tackling centers or a little down time. Even five minutes a day could help. |

Comments: This is a good solution because it incorporates two strategies. The teacher could find extra time in the day, even if it is 10 minutes, to provides examples of how to write letters. Or have the students take out scrap pieces of paper and write out capital letters and lower case letters. Those that clearly need direct instruction could be given take home practice sheets that they can finish on their own to give them the extra practice they need tracing letters and writing them. |
