Dd1's (8 years old, in yr 4) handwriting isn't good - huge and messy, and she is quite conscious of it. She doesn't hold her pen in a tripod grip and her teachers have pretty much given up on that and say that the grip she uses now will be functional for her. That's fine with me - as long as she can write reasonably neatly I don't really mind how she holds a pen.
I had a look at Handwriting Without Tears but some of the letters look very different to what is taught in the UK - generally the concept of it looks great though - just wondering what other people's experiences are, and if anyone has any good suggestions for improving handwriting. Thanks.
