[quote=Anonymous]My kid couldn’t print well at all, so I taught him cursive. Teachers were fine with it until it came about that other kids couldn’t read cursive, and it became an issue at school once they got to 4th (I think) and they started exchanging papers for projects and grading. He had to really work on relearning to print. He copied song lyrics to keep it interesting and we’d play written word games (eg, hangman and mad libs), and it improved. He’s 15 now and it’s all just regular messy teen handwriting unless he really puts effort toward neatness. No different than mine, really. How are your kid’s numbers and symbols in math? Mine had a hard time with that - just like printing. Graph paper helped with getting things in alignment, as did basic repetition. [/quote]
