Variables Affecting Transition from Wide-Spaced to Normal-Spaced Paper for Manuscript Handwriting.
Hill, David S.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v76 n1 p50-53 Sep-Oct 1982
Manuscript letter strokes made by second and third grade children on wide- and normal-spaced paper were studied. Second graders wrote better on wide-spaced paper, while third graders were unaffected by spacing. Results suggest that the transition to normal-spaced paper can be most advantageously made in second grade. (Authors/PP)
