handwriting
Good handwriting starts at the shoulder.
If you sit firmly and have a relaxed shoulder, writing is easier. That is why Gwen doesn’t start with the exercise book, but with the chair, the core and the pen grip. Only then the letters.
- Sitting posture, pen grip and pressure on the paper
- Speed and legibility, using the school’s method
