[blparent] Penmanship.

[Wendy Meuse]

When my daughter Grace was growing up, I had a nabor help her with writing and also because I was going to college my Mom used to 
watch her a lot and so helped her learned writing and printing also.  Now everyone says that Grace's writing looks a lot like my 
mom's ehehehehehehe!

Hi All,

I would like to find out what you all do regarding penmanship.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, by the time we started home schooling, our girls were middle school and high school.  They 
approached me, said public school was brude,b and asked if I would consider home-schooling.

I had looked into several curricula by that time, so was an easy choice.  So, they had the penmanship thing down, and I did not have 
to worry about that one.

Thinking back, I may have asked for assistance from a friend, neighbor, or someone in our church.  But thatbs the only thing I 
would have known to do.

I am an optacon user, so I did have chances to view their writing, but did not have the ability to give immediate feedback as one 
would write.

Before I was married, the public school classes I taught were foreign language, and when grading papers, hired a parttime reader to 
mark the papers how and where I told them to mark.  So I didnbt have to directly deal with it.

Here is a question maybe good for the blind educators list.  If anyone who is blind has had to teach penmanship, how did you do it.

Thanks for educating an old mom who is just curious.

Judy
