Why is Proper Letter Formation Important?
Research
reveals that there are many benefits to having legible and efficient
handwriting skills such as:
= teachers give higher grades to assignments produced with more
attractive writing and that are “easy to read” rather than those
produced with less attractive writing.
= difficulties with handwriting may influence the writer’s
attention, requiring them to focus more on the writing and less on the thought
process of what to write.
= children with handwriting difficulties may develop negative
experiences of writing, including frustration, decreased
self-efficacy, and poor motivation.
= handwriting requires fine motor control and fine motor
activities stimulate the prefrontal cortex (part of the brain that helps with
self-regulation and executive function).
