 **Handwriting Problems in Grades K-1** · If the observed handwriting difficulties aren’t getting in the way of task completion (i.e., they are issues with legibility and spacing), try low tech solutions and supports. Refer the student for an Occupational Therapy evaluation.

 **Using A Portable Keyboard in K-1** · Don’t worry about giving a student a keyboard before giving formal keyboarding instruction. · Encourage child to type alphabet at home or for fun with a talking word processor to give familiarity with keyboard and learn right and left home zones. · Consider Type To Learn Jr. as a supplement. · Consider use of keycaps to assist the visual search.
