Extractions: Collapse All Why don't they learn? Human factors ... Order form You are here: Home This is a systems approach to handwriting, based on cybernetics and research into feedback mechanisms. This systems approach to learning and teaching handwriting emphasises the critical role played by human factors in learning tasks. The following information and recommendations apply equally to children learning to write for the first time and also to adults who want to improve their handwriting, i.e, change and possibly re-learn how to write more legibly or more attractively. The learner is seen as a self controlled system. Learning is a direct sensory and physiological feedback effect of a motor response that is detected by the brain and determines subsequent responses. In the systems approach particular parts of the learning situation like the design of the child's pencil or pen, the writing desk/surface, the seating position and anything else that forms part of the feedback system takes on an important role.
Extractions: HANDWRITING BASICS Analyzing first graders' spelling tests won't tell you about their personalities, but examining their handwriting may provide clues to developmental problems that could interfere with learning. Handwriting is an academic skill that allows youngsters to express their thoughts and feelings and communicate their knowledge to others. Classroom teachers depend on written work to measure what children are learning and how well. Handwriting efficiency requires mastery of multiple skills, including vision, memory, posture, and body control, as well as the task of holding a pencil and forming letters. Children who fall behind classmates because they lack some of these skills may miss learning opportunities and lack self-esteem. WHAT CAN FAMILIES DO?

If the above was a sample of my handwriting, would you be able to determine my personality characteristics? During my wonderful 27 years of teaching, there were times I questioned whether a student completed his or her assignment, or had someone else do it instead. Since I keep all student assignments and parent notes for each grading period (nine weeks), I would pull several handwritten assignments from his or her file and analyze the handwriting. Analyzing handwriting (graphology) can be used for legally identifying people. It can also be used to reveal one's personality characteristics. The activity below provides a general introduction to the analysis of handwriting. Classification, human behavior and communication activities are provided for analyzing handwriting and revealing something new about your students. If nothing else, examining handwriting can develop analysis and observation skills and it's fun!

Extractions: There are a variety of handwriting styles, including: cursive, manuscript, Italic, D'Nealian, and New South Wales. See samples of popular handwriting styles. A school district usually decides to teach one style. If you have a child who is not yet attending school and is ready to write, call the school office or contact the kindergarten teacher to learn the handwriting style used. You always have the option of teaching your child another style, but it can be a needless frustration for the child. Homeschool parents have more options. Take time to familiarize yourself with the various styles. Most start with a manuscript form for the first several years, then move into a cursive form. Another option is to start with cursive. When my coauthor, Marie, was a child in the 1920's, she learned cursive fir s t. Manuscript was learned separately, during lessons where maps were drawn or drawings were labeled. Several curriculum programs have reintroduced the concept of teaching cursive from the start
