Is the Handwriting of Beginning Writers Influenced by Writing Tools?
Lamme, Linda Leonard; Ayris, Beulah M.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v17 n1 p32-38 Fall 1983

Results showed that children using these tools wrote no better than those using primary pencils. Teachers' practices did influence legibility, however. (PP)
