[quote=Anonymous]In FCPS you are not allowed to tutor a kid you just had or will have next year. A kid whose handwriting stands out markedly from other kids at that age needs an evaluation right away. Look into OT testing. Handwriting without Tears is great. If you have little kids, teach them to make the letters correctly, not to "draw" them. It will matter later for many kids. For content at second grade, try whiteboards, fancy paper, different size pens and stickers - make it fun. Give the kid sticky notes that he/she can use for anything. Encourage the writing. Only provide an ice cream if the request is written - but make it fun like you only take written orders in your "restaurant." Don't stress the kid. Make it a point to mention as soon as school starts to the next teacher and the literacy/reading specialist. [/quote]
