I am anxiously awaiting my latest find in online shopping. I recently ordered Spencerian Penmanship. With my two children being ten years apart and homeschooling them both it is a juggling act except for one crucial area. Handwriting. Laramie is six and is progressing relatively well but Luke continues to struggle as he always has. Since being diagnosed with dyslexia (along with dysgraphia and dyscalculia) when he was Laramie's age every year that he was in public school we had allowances in his IEP (Individual Education Plan) to make things easier. It really didn't get easier for him and now that he is in his second year of homeschooling I think it is time to address the handwriting. How much can it improve if any? I know he is self conscious about it as he asked me for help. Good for him for doing so! Many of the programs, books etc that I perused were too childish and certainly not anything a 16 year old would want to spend time on. Then I landed on the Spencerian Penmanship set. It has the look of an antique book from the 1800's. Probably because that is exactly what it is. I hope it helps. My kid has had a tough road with all things academic. I am looking forward to seeing how he fares with this. I will have to post before and after writing samples if it works!
