It presents some early requirements for successful teaching and refers to handwriting rules.' Reviewed in SATIPS, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------ ‘This book is written by two very experienced practitioners and is aimed at identifying the problem of those who have handwriting difficulties. It poses and answers questions and gives sound practical suggestions on how to implement an effective intervention programme. The book refers to the demands of the National Curriculum and gives a comprehensive checklist to identify possible causes of this difficulty. These are then addressed by a detailed list of resources, enabling professionals and parents to implement a ten-rule plan in a systematic way, so that handwriting can become something to be proud of rather than just another area of concern. Teaching Handwriting includes the authors’ ten tips to improve and establish legible handwriting. It does not focus on a specific style but encourages features that will result in an acceptable and functional script. I have found it very easy to read and follow and can confidently recommend it.’ Special! Magazine (2001) |
