[quote=Anonymous]First grade teacher here - during writing we do not nitpick the kids about letter formation because our goal is to get the ideas from their heads onto the page. In my district (DCPS) we also teach fundations, separate from writing, which does focus on letter formation among other things. When we are in this portion of instruction I will remind them how letters are properly formed and make sure they are facing the right direction, etc. You might want to see if your school has a similar approach. If you want to work on it at home I would keep the neatness/handwriting/formation aspect separate from any kind of creative writing for fun. My 2 cents.[/quote]
