Cаse Study: Shоuld Preschооlers Be Tаught Hаndwriting? Hector, a preschool teacher, took his four-year- old son, Diego, to the public school kindergarten for entrance testing. Afterward, he told a coworker, “Diego was tested on writing letters, but we don’t teach our preschoolers how to write letters.” During the staff meeting that afternoon, Hector brought up handwriting for preschoolers. “I think we need to teach how to write letters,” said Hector. “Not having this skill is not fair to preschoolers when they start kindergarten.” Lei, a former fi rst-grade teacher, said, “I agree. We could teach straight line capital letters (E, F, H, I, K, L, and T) to our three-year-old preschoolers. The four-year-old class could learn the remaining letters.” Zahra, the program director, asked, “What about the three-year-olds who still switch hands while drawing?” “All the better,” said Lei. “We can teach them how to write right-handed.” “Wait,” said Zahra. “I was forced to write with my right hand for years before switching to my left hand. I was so uncomfortable.” This jogged Hector’s memory of an article he had seen. “I once read that forcing children to go against their hand preferences can lead to stress and other problems.” Zahra said, “Before we make any decisions, I’ll talk to the curriculum director of the public schools to see what they really expect of children entering kindergarten.” 1.
