Starting with the basics – seating, posture, paper and writing implements – a detailed checklist for good handwriting then provides a clear evaluative tool. Teaching handwriting from scratch is followed by ways of improving handwriting, whether it be slow, illegible, poorly formed, incorrectly joined, lacking in fluency, a mixture of upper and lower case or a mixture of cursive script and print.
A chapter on troubleshooting covers issues such as motor coordination problems, difficulties experienced by left-handed writers, speed-related matters, etc. A final section details a range of useful resources.
