[quote=Anonymous]My first grade DS still writes in a very labored fashion. Homework takes forever. His letter sizes are all over the place and he often writes above or below the line. I know this should improve as he becomes more comfortable. It does, however, seem surprising that it seems they do very little letter practice in FCPS. I do not remember much last year in K either. When I was a kid in Massachusetts we did a ton of this, using paper with guidelines. DS has never used this paper. I have considered asking his teacher if I should purchase some and work with him myself. I have two questions. Has anyone been in a similar position and seen writing improve much as the child gets into second grade? Also, has anyone had a similar experience in FCPS? I understand that there is a lot of controversy over teaching cursive, but teaching clear handwriting seems like a very basic skill and something that should be mastered in early elementary. Thanks.[/quote]
