  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!)
As a 6th grade teacher, it is very obvious when students are clearly taught how to write their letters and when they aren't. Even in 6th grade I have students who handwriting I cannot read at all. I am constantly asking them what they wrote in order for me to grade their work. PLEASE teach the students handwriting skills!!!
