Handwriting Goals: to practice handwriting with slate and slate pencil, to learn the importance of good handwriting a century ago, to practice writing words from specific letter choices. Materials: slate slate pencil eraser rag chalkboard and chalk Procedures: Explain the importance of good handwriting in an age without computers. Explain how good handwriting (or penmanship) was required for many jobs, including secretarial and bookkeeping positions. It often was the key to employment. Have children clear desk of everything except the slate, slate pencil and eraser rag. Instruct children that they will need five lines of writing on one side of the slate. For line one, make a continuous line of short loops. This is the cursive letter e. (Demonstrate on chalkboard.) For line two, make a continuous line of tall loops. This is the cursive letter l. For line three, make a continuous line like tiny corn stalks growing early in the season. Dot the top of each stalk. This is the cursive letter i. For line four, make a continuous line of taller cornstalks. Cross each one close to the top. This is the cursive letter t. Finally write on the last line as many words as you can that are spelled with only these letters.

Poor penmanship a cause of drug errors Medical doctors are notorious for bad handwriting. Reading some prescription orders has been likened to deciphering hieroglyphics or interpreting the Rosetta Stone. Yet, although society once made light of their indiscernible scratches and scrawls, doctors' bad handwriting is no longer a laughing matter. According to Paul B. Hackmeyer, M.D., chief of the medical staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, poor handwriting can be dangerous if not deadly. "Bad handwriting can lead to dramatic medication errors," explained Dr. Hackmeyer. Hackmeyer cited a widely publicized 1999 case in Texas where a jury awarded a woman $450,000 because her husband died from taking the wrong medication. "Because of the doctor's poor penmanship, the pharmacist mistakenly gave him a different medication," he noted. "This tragic situation is certainly a cautionary tale for everyone in the medical profession." SOURCE: "Handwriting Challenged Take Penmanship Class," Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, April 27, 2000.

The History of Handwriting: Handwriting in America Mini Med School A Player on the Stage THE HISTORY OF HANDWRITING Handwriting in America When people ask me how I came to write a cultural history of handwriting in America, I often joke about my own scrawl, because I know that if I were to mumble something about "shedding light on the history of the self," I would lose my audience. I have spent several years steeped in the literature of handwriting, finding out just how and why it matters. Some of the sources I have used, like the exquisitely engraved penmanship manuals of the 18th century or the copybooks of the Victorian era, have been dignified with residence in rare-book rooms and research archives. Tamara Thornton sought to illuminate the history of handwriting, an activity through which people define themselves. Photo: KC Kratt/Frank Cesario Having looked at a motley assortment of documents, I have come to some understanding of why handwriting is important to us. Since the 18th century, I have found, handwriting has functioned as a way to define and reveal the self. In the ways that we have taught handwriting, practiced it, and perceived it, we have tried both to shape what we ought to be and to express what we hope to be. Students practice Palmer method "push-pulls" in 1912.

VOLUME 29, NUMBER 1 THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1997 Handwriting History Thornton's book sheds light on the role of penmanship in understanding America's cultural history By PATRICIA DONOVAN News Services Editor There is no reason to mourn the "demise of penmanship," says a UB historian, the author of a new and popular book that is the only cultural history of handwriting. Today many Americans lament the fact that handwriting skills seem obsolete, but cultural historian Tamara Plakins Thornton, associate professor of history, says the demand for old-fashioned penmanship training is merely nostalgic and represents the rejection of modernity itself. In "Handwriting in America" (Yale University Press, 1996), Thornton explores the ways in which Americans have used handwriting as both a lesson in conformity and a talisman of individuality. Her book explores the historical shifts in our notions of handwriting's significance and function as a way to better understand our cultural history. Thornton notes, for instance, that handwriting didn't always carry a heavy burden as the signifier of character. It wasn't until the 19th century that script came to be associated with the articulation of self, in contrast to the impersonality of print. "Ever since that time," Thornton says, "the 'kind' of self defined or revealed in one's script has been debated in the context of changing economic and social realities, definitions of manhood and womanhood, and the concepts of mind and body."

69. Reading Handwriting Of The Past - Everyday Genealogy (October by Bob Brooke. Old records were written by hand. Often this handwriting or penmanship, as it was called not too long ago, is indecipherable. http://www.genealogytoday.com/columns/everyday/021005.html

Genealogy help for newbies, family researchers, genealogists and professionals. Family History Software Guide Everyday Genealogy Free Newsletter ... Contact Us Family History Reading Handwriting of the Past by Bob Brooke Old records were written by hand. Often this "handwriting" or "penmanship," as it was called not too long ago, is indecipherable. Handwriting, as with language, changes over time, so what may have been common practice years ago is no longer used. Not only have our words and their meanings changed throughout the years, the way we form the letters has, too. Old_time script can make a genealogist's head spin. However, chances are that an old document may contain valuable information, so it's worth taking extra time to read it carefully. In order to get the most information from the records that are available, a genealogist has to decipher them and put meaning into the symbols on the old documents. As a genealogist searches old Bible, census, courthouse, archive and Church records to obtain names, places and dates, often the words are unclear. Also, the older the document, the harder it is to read. So where should a researcher begin? Use the known to take you to the unknown. Study the way in which letters were made, especially in obvious words. Legal documents are loaded with terms like "whereas," "wherefore,' and "hence." An ancestor s name is another good place to begin. Make a note of the letters in those words, and try to find them in others. An important note to remember is that much of the writing is "phonetic." Clerks often wrote a name the best that they could by how it sounded.

True Adventures in Homeschooling Piggy Penmanship Much Ado About Nothing Guilt assaults the homeschooling mother at odd times, over the oddest things. Take handwriting, for instance. My children all started out with great handwriting. It was great because they were four years old, for crying out loud, and any writing is great when you're four. I remember waiting with my first child at a lumber yard one day. She was killing time by writing down all the words she knew how to spell. Mama. Papa. Ariel. Love. You. Cat. Dog. Girl. Ball. Granny. Not bad for a preschooler. The store accountant walked through, looked at what she was doing, and asked her how old she was. His eyes widened when she told him. "Shucks, you have better handwriting than I do," he said to her, "and I'm 52!" I recall feeling inordinately proud that day, but I should have remembered that pride goeth before a fall. By the time she was eight, her penmanship was arguably the worst in North Texas. To tell the truth, I hadn’t particularly noticed. At the time, I was too impressed with the originality of her artwork, the arcane facts she possessed, the brilliance of her analytical skills. Sure, her handwriting bordered on illegible, but who cared? Well, my mother cared, as it turned out. Elementary teachers can’t

72. Untitled write often and make it clear that they pay attention to the quality of their ownhandwriting, showing the child that they value good penmanship. This advice http://www.penworld.com/Issues97/septoct/handwriting.htm

Teaching The Second "R" - At Home by Arthur Maier The ever-increasing popularily of writing culture combined with limited handwriting instruction in schools raises an important question in the minds of concerned parents: how can I supplement my child's handwriting education or provide instruction in the absence of a formal penmanship curriculum at school? I'll share how....... Small Fry Connie Loynachan, senior editor with Zaner-Bloser, Inc., publishers of a widely used handwriting curriculum, agreed, adding that "parents should write often and make it clear that they pay attention to the quality of their own handwriting, showing the child that they value good penmanship." This advice is long on common sense, but all too easy for busy parents to forget. Kate Gladstone, national director of the Annual American Handwriting Competition and an expert in handwriting remediation, tells me that while parents often quite successfully teach young children a few reading basics, they do not always teach letter formation. Gladstone says this makes for a "dead zone" of time between reading and writing. She suggests that a child be taught to make simple letter forms at the same time letter recognition and sounds are taught. For example, as the child learns "a" and its sounds, the parent or guardian can draw an "A" on paper while pronouncing the letter's sound and have the child trace it. Such "penmanship" won’t be perfect, but it can instill basic concepts and may also create some phonics familiarity

YOUR AD HERE YOUR AD HERE YOUR AD HERE You are HERE >> Language Arts > Printing / Cursive Skills Tips for Legible Penmanship by Elaine Ernst Schneider July 2, 2001 Not long ago, a dedicated home educator asked me for any suggestions that I might have for a grandson who was experiencing writing difficulties. Here are the strategies that I suggested. Perhaps they may of help to someone else. First, check to see how your student is holding his pencil. If he is holding it incorrectly, he may be straining physically to manipulate the pencil and write. I have worked with children who have done this and a great deal of their manipulation is in the wrist, not giving them much control. The pencil should be controlled by the fingertips. Look to see if the thumb is actually on the pencil or is wrapped . The tip of the thumb should be near the bottom of the pencil so that it can contribute control of the pencil, not wrapped across the pencil. The index finger and thumb should be on the top of the pencil with the weight of the pencil actually resting on the second finger which is underneath the pencil. I know this sounds crazy, but I have seen DRAMATIC changes in writing when the position of the pencil was changed. Also try letting the pupil write on a piece of paper that is taped to the wall. Sometimes this will foster a "lighter" touch instead of writing that is obviously produced by "bearing down" hard, pencil to paper on a table or desk.

75. The New York Times But handwriting experts attribute the decline in penmanship to various factors, fromthe growing use of computers at work and at home to an increasing reliance http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/Publications/News/article66.html

New York, NY January 25, 1995 Page 1 and 7 By LENA WILLIAMS THESE days, the handwriting on the wall can't be read. People are writing less and less, and legible handwriting is becoming as rare as the quill pen. Grown men and women are resorting to printing in order to make themselves understood. "I usually print when I write on medical chart," said Dr. Carlyle H. Miller, a cancer specialist in New York and a member of a profession notorious for impossible-to-read handwriting. "I print because my penmanship has gotten worse over the years." There have been few studies examining Americans' handwriting abilities; what is known is based on empirical data. But handwriting experts attribute the decline in penmanship to various factors, from the growing use of computers at work and at home to an increasing reliance on the telephone. A nation of harried people doesn't write letters. Part of the legibility problem is the fact that handwriting itself is changing. Ethnic diversity has brought new lettering: Greek E's for example, which look like backward 3's, and European 7's, which are written with a line across the staff. This week is National Handwriting Week, informally observed for the last 10 years. And educators, calligraphers and graphologists, the people who analyze character through handwriting, are seizing the opportunity to champion the virtues of good penmanship. Without the ability to write, they say, the only history would be oral, and they emphasize the influence of early childhood writing skills on drawing and crafts.

www.wku.edu/echo/ August 2002 echo Home Academics Professional Activities ... of the Times by Lynn Niedermeier With this issue, echo leaves the realm of paper and ink and goes electronic. The change should pose no great hardship to the wired Western community, even if some of us may not yet be convinced of the advantages a computer screen brings to our experience of reading. Many of us, however, have grown unwilling or even unable to write without a computer. The ease of word processing and e-mail has literally pushed handwriting to the margins of our daily communications. But through most of Western’s history and that of its predecessors, the Southern Normal School and Bowling Green Business University, college men and women strove to master penmanship as intently as they do today’s software programs. More than just a means of communication, handwriting has always been a form of self-presentation. Colonial merchants ranked expert penmanship ahead of arithmetic and bookkeeping as crucial to business success. Victorians associated good handwriting with self-assurance, trustworthiness and a capacity for hard work — in short, with the highly prized attribute of “character.” By the mid-19th century, as a result, legions of penmanship instructors could be found in both common school classrooms and specialized commercial programs. By the turn of the 20th century, however, the Spencerian style was falling out of favor as too slow and fussy. One historian has even suggested that the rejection of its rather feminine appearance mirrored a general anxiety over increasing numbers of women entering the workplace. In any event, Austin Norman Palmer, a penmanship instructor in New England, introduced a simpler handwriting style that could be executed neatly but rapidly, almost robotically, in keeping with the pace of modern business. Endless drills in proper arm motion, known as “push-pulls” and “ovals,” formed the basis of his teaching technique.
