Often, most schools give no more time to practice. Your child may be lucky. They may be getting thirty minutes a week of handwriting instruction. Thirty minutes a week will not fix anything.Some schools in Year 4 provide 1 hour 30 minutes of instruction on touch typing. In Year 5, there is no support for handwriting or typing. In Year 6, emphasis is on spelling, punctuation and grammar, known as SPAG. Again, nothing for handwriting. By now, these skills are expected to have been mastered.
