The Twilight Show with Nathan Gynn 12-01-22: Handwriting Part One

Nathan is joined by Nicky Parr @nicky_parr from Better Handwritten and Sue Smits from @MorrellsHand Handwriting discussing Handwriting and why we need to worry about it in a digital age. They discuss the Halo Effect, people (exam markers) making assumptions about academic ability because of handwriting and whether handwriting be too perfect? Nathan asks what is it we are looking for from handwriting? Neatness? Speed? Fluency? Automaticity? They also cover the big discussions on whether or not to teach lead in strokes, Pencil grip, and Pen licences. They discuss potential barriers for pupils and what can be done about them.
