The more David and I help Charlie with his homework the more we have noticed his handwriting. It is is hard to read and Charlie has trouble making some of the letters the correct way.
So even though I am not a doctor or teacher I am sure part part of Charlies problem with his handwriting is being dyslexic as both David and Suzzane had this problem as well.
So as Charlie enters 4th grade next year I knew I needed to find ways for Charlie to practice his hand writing this Summer or find someone to work with him.
Because without practice Charlie’s handwriting might get a lot worse this Summer. Which means Charlie might get into trouble next year in school as the teachers will not be able to read what he writes. Which would end up with a bad grade in handwriting and with everything else Charlie is struggling with we can’t afford for that to happen.
Which means this Summer I knew I would need to find books or websites that would have handwriting activities on them for Charlie to do. So this morning as I was going through emails God answered this problem for me.
As he had a email for me to look at which talked about Handwriting For Kids. So this morning I would like to not only remind you of Educents which will have handwriting worksheets on there website, but to also let you know of a new website I found called Handwriting For Kids.
