Handwriting Group

Handwriting fluency is fundamental to learning because children think and write at the same time. When we teach children to write, we also teach them how to express themselves. If they struggle to form their letters, their ability to express themselves suffer. Children who don't master handwriting may be slow, sloppy, or illegible writers. Spelling and math are also affected.
