A New Script for Teaching Handwriting by the Washington Post


Over the past couple of years I have had to make changes in my approach on handwriting.  Occupational therapists would start supporting cursive handwriting in a public school setting, often creating IEP goals to support cursive writing.  However now that we have adopted the Common Core Standards in our state of Rhode Island, cursive handwriting is no longer supported.  We know teach keyboarding skills to get them ready to participate in standardized tests such as the PARCC assessment.
