[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader has atrocious hand writing. I help by reading over the homework and reading aloud any messily written words the way the look to me based on the bad handwriting. Nearly all of my child's mistakes are due not to actually making a mistake, but due to terrible handwriting.[/quote] If your fifth grader has handwriting that is difficult to read even after a lot of help you may have him tested. He/she may have Dysgraphia. Dysgraphia is a deficiency in the ability to write primarily in terms of handwriting, but also in terms of coherence.[1] It occurs regardless of the ability to read and is not due to intellectual impairment.[2] Dysgraphia is a transcription disability, meaning that it is a writing disorder associated with impaired handwriting, orthographic coding (orthography, the storing process of written words and processing the letters in those words), and finger sequencing (the movement of muscles required to write).[/quote]
