Improving Handwriting & Fine Motor Skills
Practical activities and strategies to support people with dyspraxia

Handwriting Strategies

  • 1
    Use the right grip: Try pencil grips or triangular pencils to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue
  • 2
    Practice letter formation: Use multi-sensory approaches like tracing letters in sand, foam, or on textured surfaces
  • 3
    Start with large movements: Practice writing on large paper or whiteboards before moving to lined paper

    Use lined or graph paper: Visual guides help with letter size and spacing consistency
  • 5
    Consider alternatives: Use typing or voice-to-text when handwriting becomes too challenging
