[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but my second grader's writing is practically illegible, all over the place, different sizes and full of big blobs. Still a complete hodgepodge of upper and lowercase letters and no sense of spacing. I was walking around our school showcase last week and was shocked to see how much better many of the children in his class were writing.

Any tips for a kid like this? He hates to write; even signing a card seems like a giant ask and he rushes through it so fast it looks horrible.[/quote]

Does he have a true pencil grasp?  Has he ever really learned the mechanics of printing correctly?  When children don't form letters correctly it's more of a struggle to move to the next one fluidly.  If spacing and sizing is difficult, cursive writing might be a preference.  As much as I'd like to say practice, it sounds like he needs to relearn fundamentals again.

Also, perhaps issues that an OT can help with?[/quote]

Get an OT evaluation.  Donwait.[/quote]

+2 - perhaps an evaluation for dysgraphia [/quote]
