Six Questions Educators Should Ask before Choosing a Handwriting Program. ERIC Digest.
ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication, Bloomington, IN.
This Digest looks at recent research, and then asks and considers some important questions about choosing a handwriting program for young children, i.e.: (1) which alphabet is developmentally appropriate; (2) which alphabet is easier to use; (3) which alphabet is easier to read; (4) which alphabet is more easily integrated; (5) which alphabet is easier to teach; and (6) whether slanted manuscript helps with students' transition to cursive handwriting.
