The Twilight Show with Nathan Gynn 19-01-22: Handwriting Part Two

Nathan is joined by Amanda McLeod, Chair of the National Handwriting Association, and Dan Wright, Deputy Headteacher and SENDCo, to discuss improving handwriting for all. What is it we are looking for from handwriting? Neatness? Speed? Fluency? Automaticity? Nathan asks what does the research say and are we being research-informed? They discuss the sort of barriers that pupils can face when we're looking at handwriting. And, what sort of things can be done? What interventions work? What about motivating learners and does giving out pen licences work?
