He had a brilliant mind, but this favorite student of mine struggled with one main issue in fourth grade: handwriting. It was hardly legible and even other students commented while working on group projects how difficult it was to decipher. It affected how he viewed himself and his abilities. He’s now in middle school, but he still wants to improve and because he was so far behind, there is still much to work on. So he has asked me to tutor him.
The problem began in kindergarten because he never learned to hold his pencil correctly. Kudos to you valiant kindergarten teachers that spend quality time on this issue. If you only knew how much you impress the rest of us when you help a little five year old conquer this fundamental area!
