Handwriting Remediation: A Comparison of Computer-Based and Traditional Approaches.
Roberts, Gwenyth I.; Samuels, Marilyn T.
Journal of Educational Research, v87 n2 p118-25 Nov-Dec 1993
The effectiveness of computer-based handwriting exercises was compared with traditional pencil-and-paper instruction in remediating handwriting difficulties. Students in grades 4-6 with poor handwriting received either computer-based, conventional, or computer-assisted conventional instruction. The traditional group improved significantly more than the computer groups from pretest to posttest. (SM)
