First off, work on handwriting and the other parts of writing separately. I’ve tried and used different handwriting programs over the years. My number one choice is Handwriting Without Tears. This program was developed by an occupational therapist to help her own son. The directions are clear and simple. It builds on simple pencil strokes and keeps the writing style simple.

Children with dysgraphia will need to learn fine motor control through a variety of multisensory activities. These may include mazes and multisensory activities. Handwriting in sand, with finger on velvet, with soap on a large flat pan, etc. are all fun ways for learning handwriting movements.
