What about handwriting for high school age/ adults? I don't enjoy offending my kids, but I feel I'm constantly trying to reinforce handwriting with them...
ReplyDeleteGood question. Some of the ideas for activities to enhance a mature grasp can work with teens. Also, the clay activities are complex and may be of interest also. Otherwise, I would use their own words to create copywork. Let us know what works for you!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great ideas to teach the kids. Handwriting is such an important part of education.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas because handwriting is so important to teach the kids about for their education.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wanda!
