A Longitudinal Study on Dysgraphic Handwriting in Primary School.

Hamstra-Bletz, Lisa; Blote, Anke W.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v26 n10 p689-99 Dec 1993

Annual evaluation for 5 years of the handwriting of 121 Dutch primary school children revealed that children with dysgraphic handwriting had lower fine motor ability, exhibited poorer structural performance, and, in higher grades, showed less preference for a personal style, than did other writers. Children with and without dysgraphic handwriting did not differ in writing speed. (Author/JDD)
