Hi All!
My son hand writing improved then now go back his own illegible writing.He said when he wrote he lost his energy.After that he can’t write neatly.Previously he siad if he wrote nicely he should be very slow.I told him write every day.Then it will be nice and fast.But he can’t listen to me.
How to change his mindset?Now he is P3.I just worried cos of compo. -
Hello!
I would say, don't fret! It takes time for him to learn. Don't make him write the same thing over and over again. It would be better if you make him write different compos topic as practice for handwriting and also for improving English speed is one essential thing when he reaches Secondary school. So it is a must must for good handwriting and speed -
Hi smartmummy,
My DS is also P3 and doesn’t have neat handwriting. Like your son, he mentioned that he needs to copy/write fast so that he can finish his work on time. Every PTA, teacher will tell me that he have untidy handwriting and disorganised.
I think partly it is because of his poor motor skills. I can only encourage him and at times, I erase and make him rewrite. -
My child also says teacher says must write quickly so he scribbles and I keep telling him at PSLE, the marker would not have the patience to read his scribbles but he says no choice, teacher says must write fast. I also don’t know how to help him.

Am now teaching DD to write her English and Chinese names. Her handwriting not that nice, and she gets upset when I asked her to write a few more times. How to inculcate interest in the child in learning how to write her own names, for a start? Can any parent share your experiences?

Hi parents,
My 2 children are left handed and I never noticed any problems with the way they hold their pencils until they started primary school and their teachers feedback to me. Since then (5 years on…), my oldest is still gripping the pen in a fist-like way and my daughter is holding her pencil so tightly that her knuckles are sometimes white from the strain. As a result, she hates to write. I tried buying her some of those grips you can attach on the pens but did not succeed. Unfortunately, my boy is already 12 this year. It doesn’t bother him but I want him to hold his pen the right way. Do you think it is too late for him to make the change?
Has any parent here ever faced the same situation? Would appreciate some sharing. Thanks! -
my son has bad handwriting too…the only way to alleviate the problem seems to be getting him to leave a line and look slightly neater. i realised my girl’s handwriting kinda changes through the influences of her friends. she started writing like her friends when she started sec sch and improved thankfully

My gal in P2 but still writes horribly. During the Dec holidays, I will probably make her do lots of writing.

Well, first, you must be firm. Get him/her to copy a passage. If the handwriting is not up to your standard, tear it in front of him/her. You cannot have a soft spot. Ask him to copy it again. Again, see if it is up to your standard. If not, do it again. Next time, if you see any handwriting not up to your standard again, you know what to do.
