​ ​Writing/Grammar

Penmanship
Handwriting is an important communication skill that reinforces reading, spelling, and writing. The goal of a good handwriting curriculum is to teach children to write legibly and efficiently so that writing becomes fluent and automatic. Students will have repeated practice of each letter. Because handwriting is, initially, a motor skill, repeated motor practice using correct letter formation is essential for achieving good handwriting.  Students will use “Stop and Checks” to remind themselves to self-evaluate their letter formation through the use of four keys to legibility: shape, size, spacing, and slant.  Handwriting skills are specifically taught daily in 1G classrooms.  Correct formation of letters is emphasized throughout all subject areas.
  • Penmanship will be graded on a 5 point scale.  We will be looking for correct shape, correct size, correct spacing, correct slant, and legibility.
