    Extractions: Children benefit from having basic pre-writing skills in place before beginning pencil and paper tasks. These are skills that often emerge as your child develops in the preschool years. If you have concern regarding your child's development in these areas you may consider consulting an occupational therapist. Some of these skills include: Having an established dominant hand. If a child is needing to learn letter formations or letter-to-line placement: Be sure that you are reinforcing the same formation patterns that your child is learning in school or other setting. One good program to consider using is Handwriting Without Tears Practice writing on a vertical surface such as a chalkboard or easel prior to practicing on paper.

    Extractions: Home Up Hand Washing by Health Care Providers [ Bad Penmanship can lead to Medical Errors ] For Doctors’ Scrawl, Handwriting’s on the Wall Healthcare providers’ compliance behavior is revealed by this headline from another newspaper article, by Rene Sanchez ( Washington Post , May 16, 2000). Folklore has it that physicians’ handwriting is notoriously bad, and with the increased importance of prescription medicines in treating diseases of every sort, poor penmanship increases the probability of fatal medication errors. Even more than handwashing, prescription errors show how adverse medical outcomes can reflect not just the misbehavior of an individual, but rather the complexity of the entire healthcare system. An analysis by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) shows how complex the system actually is. First, the physician has to write or otherwise order the prescription. Then, the prescription must be routed to the pharmacist, who reviews the order and then dispenses the prescription. Finally, the prescription has to be administered, by either the patient or a caregiver.

    http://www.teacherblue.homestead.com/penmanship.html
    
    Extractions: I frequently score essays for a company that processes the state assessment tests that are becoming so common all across the United States. I have scored essays from nearly every grade level, from third grade right up to and including high school. One thing that I have noticed is that at all levels, most students have deplorable penmanship. It is often a struggle to make out one word out of five in any given essay. Some essays are so entirely indecipherable that they must be flagged as unscoreable. This problem is not confined to the K-12 level. As a college instructor I have also noticed a drastic decline in the legibility of my own students' handwriting. I am famous for my ability to make sense out of nearly indecipherable script, but even I am about ready to throw in the towel. More and more often I cannot begin to guess what my students' scribbles are intended to represent. A little over a year ago a student said that I was the only one of her college instructors who would accept handwritten essays, and she thanked me profusely for that policy. Like many students, she could not afford her own computer, and she often had to go to the computer center alone late at night to type out a paper for another class. Since she also could not afford a car, every late-night trip to the relatively isolated and poorly lit location of the computer center was a terrifying adventure. Campus security is not great at KU, and many womenand even one young manhave been raped on this campus over the years.

    Extractions: Wednesday August 6, 1997 Edition Joan Donaldson 'Your handwriting is so beautiful," the clerk at the post office said, sighing. "I'm sure you're tired of hearing me say that, but I wish I could write like you." I explained to the clerk that if she had lived in the 19th century, she would have written the way I do. At one time, the handsome Spencerian script that graced the manila envelope had been the most common form of handwriting in America. I did not come by this skill naturally; in fact, my college roommate once described my former handwriting as a scrawl. Classified By 'Hand' In 18th-century England, there was no standardized way of writing script. Penmanship books of the era illustrated many "hands." (The page at right is from George Bickham's "The Universal Penman," published for businessmen in 1743.) Each style was reserved for a specific occupation, gender, or class. Many of the styles were derived from the native Gothic script of the Middle Ages, but a new set of hands had also arrived from Renaissance Italy. Italic was used mostly for Latin texts; the British Exchequer demanded that the pipe-roll hand (a Gothic script) be used; merchants soon adopted a strip-ped-down version of Italic, considered a masculine hand.

Draw Write Now® Portland Italic Handwriting Series A Reason For Handwriting Spenserian Penmanship My Thoughts on Handwriting In the homeschool setting you are consistently doing work in small groups or one on one. When I talk to customers about handwriting, I generally recommend a handwriting book for the time they are learning to print and then again when it is time to learn cursive. Why? You are teaching handwriting every time you notice that a letter is made incorrectlyyou say, "Let's make that letter like this!" And then you show the child how to do it a better way. I always ask the child to write a couple for practice. NOT a whole line or page, no, just a couple of the letters or word. Then I put a little heart or star on the best one. If the child makes a fantastic/perfect letter or word, I question them (it's a joke!), "Did I make this letter or did you?" They always think that's hilarious and TRY even harder to make nicely shaped letters. There are two aspects to learning cursive: the new shapes and the connections. Learning the new shapes is the less difficult for most children. Connections usually cause the problem. IF you have used a cursive book and the student isn't getting it, I would recommend making a special notebook with 26 pages. Fold each page in half lengthwise to make two columns.

    Extractions: This penmanship program is a life-saver for children struggling to form their letters neatly. It was developed by two professors who recognized the need for a better program than the traditional or D’Nealian handwriting methods. We have experienced that some young children lack the motor skills to form especially cursive letters clearly and precisely. Others simply lack the patience. This italics program offers a very easy method of writing in cursive. The cursive letters don’t alter much beyond the manuscript form. They are slightly slanted and connected. After all, most adults form their own method of letter writing anyway, even though we have all experienced the handwriting drills in elementary school. Does anybody write that way after growing up? Very easy to teach and practice. One teacher’s edition for all levels is very helpful, but optional.

    Extractions: In the mid-1800's, the Spencerian form of penmanship became a standard. An elegant handwriting was much prized. Today, in our computer age, a fine, beautiful, and legible handwriting brings a warm personal touch to our correspondence. These books, 5 copybooks and a theory book (available separately or as a set), may be used to introduce cursive writing to second or third graders or to improve the handwriting of older students or adults. Theory of Spencerian Penmanship By Platt R. Spencer. This book explains how all the letters can be made gracefully and rapidly using various combinations of a few basic pen strokes. It explains Spencer's philosophy of teaching principles which engage the mind as well as the hand. It also details his methods for teaching classes of children. One of these is having the children write rhythmically, in concert, as the teacher counts. The power of this method is being rediscovered today.

    Extractions: In this engaging history, Tamara Plakins Thornton traces handwriting in America from colonial times to the present. Exploring such subjects as penmanship pedagogy, handwriting analysis, autograph collecting, handwriting experts, and calligraphy revivals, Thornton investigates the shifting functions and meanings of handwriting, showing, for example, how it came to be linked with individual identity and how in our times handwriting reflects a nostalgia for the past and a rejection of modernity. "This elegant study again proves that, in the right hands, a narrow topic is an excellent window into broad issues of social structure, education and popular culture. Historian Thornton not only packs plenty of Americana into her history of handwriting but also relates trends in this country to European developments. . . . Thornton's high-quality scholarship will satisfy exacting academic audiences, and her graceful prose will charm and entertain the general reader." Publishers Weekly "Filled with interesting and sometimes corrective information about penmanship and its prejudices. . . . Thornton writes with a measured grace."Thomas Mallon
