[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get him boring handwriting workbooks. Get him activity books that will interest him and also requires writing. 3rd grade is not an older child. That’s when they teach cursive, how could the teacher possibly complain about that, he’s just starting. Handwriting also requires strong hand control so coloring or anything where you need control is helpful. [/quote] I’d get a workbook first. If his handwriting it very sloppy and hard to read, he is likely forming letters incorrectly. He needs to explicitly practice the correct form many times over to obtain muscle memory of how to form letters correctly. Then you move on to various activities that are interesting and require writing to keep up handwriting skills. [/quote]
