Is Your Child Struggling with Writing?
Writing challenges can often go unnoticed, but they can have a significant impact on a child’s confidence and academic progress.
If your child is facing any of the following issues, you’re not alone. These common writing struggles can be improved with the right support and guidance.
Take a look at these signs to see if your child might benefit from targeted writing help:
- Does your child have writing you can’t read?
- Does your child reverse letters and numbers when they write?
- Does your child hate to write?
- Does your child hold the pen with the wrong grip?
- Does your child apply too much pressure when writing?
- Does your child start letters and numbers from the bottom, moving upward?
- Does your child’s writing appear to be floating on the page?
- Does your child struggle with proper spacing and letter sizing?
Handwriting is an essential skill. There is also research that supports handwriting supports literacy development. Advances in technology such as keyboarding and speech to text are wonderful but
does not replace the skill of learning to write.
It is important for text to be legible so the individual can convey their thoughts and meaning! Many children with learning and/or fine motor disabilities may have sloppy writing, reverse letters and number or start letter and number formation at the bottom and move up.
No letters or numbers should start at the bottom and move up. Children should no longer reverse letters and number by the age of 8. Letters and numbers have specific starting points, pathways and exit strokes.
Letters and numbers and are not shapes that are drawn. Often children are given letters and numbers to trace, and they develop their own motor plan which is often wrong and over time that motor plan becomes solid from practice which makes it harder to change.
Handwriting starts with the correct pen hold which most commonly is the dynamic tripod grasp, but the plume hold is also acceptable. Try using a pen with easy ink flow instead of a pencil which requires a lot of pressure and can encourage the wrong pen hold. If your child struggles with handwriting, don’t delay! Schedule an evaluation, therapy and/or access our amazing e-book and videos in our store and membership!
