  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!)
Some students have poor fine motor skills, which affects their handwriting. Technology is a huge part of the progressive classroom, so if students experience difficulty with poor penmanship, they can type on the classroom computer.

Best of luck!

Comments: I do not feel this will help with the issue at hand. If you have students use a computer to type on the computer they are not practicing their handwriting skills.
