Why does my son/daughter write clearly when he/she works very slowly with other methods, but gets sloppy when trying to write faster?
A. Most alphabets can only be written slowly and awkwardly because they actually teach a copy hand, not true cursive writing. This means the letters can be copied slowly, but not written at speed. When students work slowly on these other writing methods, they can copy the letters accurately, but because they are copy hands, they cannot be written rapidly.
