Summary
This study looks at two ways to help 148 preschool children (ages 3-6) who struggle with handwriting. One group will practice writing the usual way, with tips for parents on good posture and pencil grip. The other group will try "embodied writing" โ using whole-body movements while learning to write. Over 8 weeks, researchers will check if one method improves handwriting speed, legibility, and coordination more than the other. The goal is to find better teaching strategies for early childhood.
