Let's talk about that messy handwriting!  In this week's episode, Carrie talks with the inventor and founder of Legiliners, Polly Benson.  Carrie and Polly share stories of handwriting successes (and failures) as they answer many of your questions:  When should handwriting lessons begin?   Should cursive or manuscript be taught?  If both, which one should students start with?  What are some manifestations of handwriting issues?  What are some interventions and simple methods to teach handwriting? And so much more!  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, get your favorite pen and notebook, and join Polly and Carrie for a little coffee and conversation about messy handwriting.
