[quote=Anonymous]OP. I have the same issue and have basically learned that our school (in FCPS) really just does not invest in resources that would help facilitate better penmanship. They have few if any workbooks which is part of the problem and then the worksheets they have available are random and aren't picked in order to facilitate good penmanship. Luckily there have been enough minor complaints at the PTA level about this and offline discussions with teachers that they are starting to make amends and choose materials that foster better handwriting. There are basic things they can do. For instance, the K teacher made a change and now has sheets for the kids to write on that have 3 lines instead of just a bottom line so the kids can practice writing letters at the right proportion. The 2nd grade teacher can provide graphic organizers for writing activities with lines instead of empty space. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREEBIE-Venn-Diagram-wlines-908461 .

The easiest way to get this for your child is to have him/her evaluated for dysgraphia and then make facilitating handwriting part of the 504/IEP plan.
