Handwriting

Handwriting is a complex skill that requires the coordination of motor, visual, sensory, and cognitive abilities. It is a fundamental educational skill that is required to perform schoolwork in any subject. As a result, students who struggle with handwriting often fall behind in classwork. Pre-writing and paper-pencil abilities (e.g., colouring in, drawing shapes and figures, mastering fine motor movements) as well as converting ideas into writing and/or developing topics for writing are all part of handwriting competency (ideation).
