Which Manuscript Letters Do Primary Grade Children Write Legibly?
Graham, Steve; Weintraub, Naomi; Berninger, Virginia
Journal of Educational Psychology, v93 n3 p488-97 Sep 2001
Examined manuscript letter writing skills of students in Grades 1-3. Three letter characteristics, grade, and alphabet fluency each made a significant contribution to the prediction of letter legibility after effects of other predictors were controlled. Letter legibility in turn made a significant contribution to the prediction of text legibility after all other predictors were controlled. (Author)
