RitaWH Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 What would you think is the best way to improve the handwriting of an 8th grader? Copy work? Can anyone recommend anything. I'm wondering if WWE might work? Many thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkermamaof4 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 We use italic by getty dubay and I like it a lot. it is easy to learn and i like the handwriting style too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Teach her typing? LOL, sorry. That probably didn't help. All I can say is that I got notes/comments every report card period for as far back as I can remember saying that I had sloppy handwriting. Every year, without fail. And it never did improve. I still have horrible handwriting, which I can't read myself a few days later. Thank goodness for typing- it hurts my hands less, it's always legible, and it's much quicker!

Sunshine State Sue Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 IME, all the instruction and practice in the world will not permanently improve an 8th grader's handwriting unless said 8th grader has an internal desire to improve their handwriting. I can't remember what we used back in 6th grade (I did a massive cleanout after 8th grade), but it was nice because it wasn't geared towards young children. But, I may as well have spent that entire year banging my head against a wall for all it has permanently changed. :cursing: Sorry to be so negative, but that's reality here.
