Episode 183: This week onThinking Deeply about Primary Education Neil Almond joins me for a fascinating exploration of (the teaching and learning of) handwriting. Based on his upcoming chapter in the researchED Guide to Primary Literacy, we delve into the research in this field and what this means for us in the classroom.
As part of the chat we discuss...
- Is handwriting important?
- What was the most surprising thing you found in the research?
- Why do children (and adults) find handwriting so difficult?
- Are there any guiding principles we can discern from the available research?
...and much, much more.
