Handwriting Workshop

Handwriting Workshop

Start the conversation about better handwriting. This workshop is for students, parents and teachers who are interested in finding new strategies to improve the quality and legibility of handwriting.

The Importance of Handwriting
Handwriting is still a prominent mode of composing for both children and adults. As a result, it is essential that developing writers acquire fluent and legible handwriting. The impact of legibility, though, is not just whether handwriting can or cannot be deciphered. The impact of legibility is subtler than this, as readers can form a negative opinion about the quality of our ideas when handwriting is decipherable but challenging to read due to poor legibility. Of all the skills and knowledge that are needed to write skilfully, handwriting places the earliest constraints on writing. Until children can form letters with reasonable legibility and speed, much of their writing concentration and effort is consumed with letter production.
