Manual Printing Skills Are Very Important

A study by McHale and Cermak (1992) examined the amount of time school-aged children were expected to perform fine motor activities in the classroom. They found that 31-60% of a child´s school day in grades two to six consisted of fine-motor activities. Of those fine-motor activities, 85% of the time consisted of paper and pencil tasks. Consider the negative impact that poor printing skills can have on a child´s feelings of mastery and success when approximately one third of the school day is met with frustration when engaging in paper and pencil tasks.
