      I used one of those plastic grippers from Popular that could be attached to stationary, which supposedly helps one improve his/her handwriting. After a month, I quit it. Might help though.

          Penmanship. For speed, I'm really not sure how to help. I used to time myself doing math papers, giving myself a shorter time each round, in order to increase my speed. But that was more on the mental side, and less of writing.

          I ditched it, because truth be told, I was already comfortable with my original grip. Eventually my writing did improve, albeit only in Sec school. Gl.

            My P5 boy writes very slowly. He struggles to complete his homework and is always the last to finish copying work in class. While his handwriting is atrocious, I am more worried that the lack of speed will affect his academic performance. Appreciate any advice / recommendation for eg. medical assessment / therapist. Thank you.

            Have you checked whether he holds the pen/pencil correctly? The way he holds the pen/pencil affects writing speed.
