Handwriting as a Main Character with Holly Britton
All teachers have had students who struggle with handwriting, regardless of their grade level. What we learn in this episode is that this is not just a problem of messiness, but of a lack of motor as well as cognitive skills that prevent learners from reaching their potential.
Holly Britton, a handwriting instructional specialist, talks about this and so much more in this informative episode.
