When ever there is a writing assignment he tries his best to complete the work however, the teacher takes off points because she is unable to legibly read his writing. How should Billy approach the teacher for help so his grades do not suffer? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would begin by having the parents get involved. They can suggest solutions and explain to the teacher this is something Billy is working on. They can ask if Billy can type his assignments, instead of handwriting them. I would also give Billy worksheets to practice his handwriting. It is very difficult to change your penmanship after years of having the same one. I would also look into it to see if Billy is rushing to complete his assignments resulting in sloppier writing.
