[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 372967, member: 6546"] ML-- Yes, I would save your money... My son had some fine-motor issues when he was younger. The school wouldn't/couldn't provide Occupational Therapist (OT) yadda, yadda, yadda.... and THEN switched the way they taught handwriting mid-course - changing slanted, scripted printing styles. UGH!!! As a result, my son has the WORST, most illegible writing you've ever seen. Teachers let him type assignments whenever possible. Long story short, he never wanted to practice his writing (though his parents as well as teacher after teacher after teacher have tried to encourage him to do so) But now, that he is starting 6th grade...he is finally interested in "fixing" his handwriting. I've ordered some "printing practice" books for him...and we're going to work on this at home - where nobody has to know. Our goal is for him to develop more legible printing and cursive writing. Manster may eventually come around, too. Save the money for when HE is ready... [/QUOTE]
