Literacy = reading + writing + keyboarding

It is so much more than putting words on paper.

It is a visual interpretation of where to place letters on the style of paper.
-
It is the motor control that keeps your body upright and pencil control.

It is memory and overcoming the fear that occurs when it is difficult.

It is language syntax and the cognition required for creative prose.

When handwriting is not working properly, there is a DisConnect between the brain and body.
The best way to overcome poor handwriting is through effective practice.
A delay in handwriting is called dysgraphia.

Symptoms of Dysgraphia
I think the biggest thing I have learned is that there are different components/categories of dysgraphia. The assignments required me to analyze and reanalyze tasks.
After taking a step back to analyze dysgraphia, I didn’t realize there were so many differences between them!
I met and evaluated a kiddo today that I just know is dysgraphic. It was so clear, and I felt so good knowing, instead of wondering!
