Graham, Keith M.; Eslami, Zohreh R. – Reading Psychology, 2020
This meta-analysis examines how components of the Simple View of Writing contribute to writing development for English second-language (L2) learners. Previous studies examining first-language learners suggest that transcription and ideation may predict writing achievement. In order to investigate whether these components similarly contribute to L2…

Variables affecting the legibility of manuscript letters produced by children from preschool through the first two grades are discussed in this literature review. Much of the research cited has as its major goal the identification of treatment conditions and programming regimes that reduce the confusion and training time commonly associated with…

Bergman, K. E.; McLaughlin, T. F. – B. C. Journal of Special Education, 1988
The review of the literature on handwriting instruction with learning disabled students found that a direct teaching approach is generally the most effective, that most process training programs lack empirical support, and that behavioral and cognitive modification techniques are empirically sound and effective.

Graham, Steve – Focus on Exceptional Children, 1992
This paper examines the importance of handwriting instruction, through discussion of four issues: (1) whether handwriting should be taught directly outside other writing contexts; (2) slanted versus traditional manuscript alphabets; (3) use of a beginner's pencil and wide lined paper; and (4) the use of self-regulation procedures within the…

Masters, D. Gay – 1987
Noting that handwriting is a subskill that often becomes an instructional end rather than a means to enhance written communication, this paper examines research on handwriting and its implications for instruction. Following an introduction on the current status of handwriting instruction, the paper summarizes research on handwriting legibility,…

Hendrickson, Jo M.; Gable, Robert A. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1981
The instructional utility of employing modeling strategies to promote skill acquisition of exceptional learners in the content areas of arithmetic, spelling, reading, expressive language, and handwriting is presented vis-a-vis descriptions of several basic modeling strategies and teaching procedures in which models are integral components.

Graham, Steve – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1999
To minimize the negative impact of handwriting and spelling difficulties of students with learning disabilities, it is proposed that explicit and systematic instruction, as well as incidental or natural learning approaches be used to maximize the development of these two basic writing tools. These approaches are examined. (Author/CR)

Bloodsworth, James Gaston – 1993
Contrary to the beliefs of many, right-handedness is not a single factor existing in almost all people, with a few exceptions termed left-handed: neither extreme exists independently of the other. During the first 4 years of life there is a period of fluctuation between right and left-handed dominance. Statistics and findings vary in determining…

Lamme, Linda Leonard; Ayris, Beulah M. – Journal of Research and Development in Education, 1983
Researchers investigated whether using modern writing tools--mechanical pencils, felt-tip pens, and other devices--would improve the legibility of first-grade students' handwriting. Results showed that children using these tools wrote no better than those using primary pencils. Teachers' practices did influence legibility, however. (PP)
