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 take maybe 10-15 minutes of class to teach students how to write. I would print out pieces of paper and have the students trace the letter numerous times until they know the flow and are able to write it by themselves. I would also have them say what letter it is while writing the letters out.
