Does your child struggle with handwriting? My suggestion for handwriting help is to teach your child Cursive because ‘It’s easy on the hand; It’s easy on the mind’!

CURSIVE- Always lower case at 90% mastery first! Begin with dry erase- teach cursive first, always get lower case to 90% until upper case. if doesn’t go well see below for block. For CURSIVE: learn the ”c, l, i, n” then you can learn many other letters. Start with marker and dry erase…easier for students. Note: Upper case is not written into this program, but you can be as fancy as you want as long as it resembles others uppercase. (google uppercase- cursive, pick font and stick with it). Practice on computer using https://www.whiteboard.chat/ (go to grids, or press primary lined) with her particular color overlay (I find students are either light yellow or blue-see which works best): https://www.aurelitec.com/colorveil/windows/download/.Thanks, Aurelitec & WhiteBoard.Chat.com (if surface dyslexia use grid page for practicing).
