By now your child’s writing should not be hard to read. Don’t give the teacher a reason to mark grades lower because they can’t interpret the work. Your child needs to write quickly and legibly because as they get older the demand for writing is harder. The Combo Handwriting Workbook provides that extra practice to make writing (penmanship) good enough (because good enough is just that- good enough).
With 10 minutes spent on the workbook, your child can practice those strokes that make writing more automatic. At the end of the day your child should be able to close their eyes and write any letter on command and the size should .5” or smaller and make the letter identifiable. Spending a few minutes to show your child how to make the letters and a few minutes to let them practice is how writing becomes so easy they don’t even have to think about it. That’s what a solid writing foundation looks like.
Ages:7 and up.
