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 is important. Them understanding even the very basics such as writing is crucial. I would correct as you go. If you see a misspelled word or you can't comprehend it i would note the paper. Let them know the expectations.
