Has your child struggled with handwriting skills throughout the school year?
Now is the time to get them help. Handwriting skills are a key component and an essential part of school related activities.

With the new Common Core Standards taking effect in the 2013-2014 School Year, children entering Kindergarten will be expected to know how to correctly and effectively hold and use a pencil, crayon or marker. Note taking and expository writing will have greater emphasis in grades K-5 than ever before. Sharper handwriting skills need to be acquired and bad writing habits abated early on in a student’s academic career.
Child Success Center’s Handwriting Club will also address the following common handwriting challenges:
- Difficulty holding pencils or markers?
- Difficulty coloring within the lines?
- Messy or sloppy handwriting?
- Writing too large or too small?
- Occasional or frequent reversal of letters/numbers?
- Difficulty learning letters/numbers correctly?
- Difficulty staying on a line?
