Researchers want to know more about the teaching practices used in the classroom. Educators have their own approach when it comes to that information. A statistical majority of teachers reported instructing students on basic handwriting rules. Less than a majority of teachers reported instructing students on grammar in schools recently.
Do you believe that pen and paper are still superior to technology in learning?
Handwriting is important to literacy.
The end goal is to help students develop their handwriting skills automatically over time. Schools have seen a lot of good progress made with their top rated students. Teachers are glad to see some of the progress being made in these schools. That gives them hope for the future and some success to report during their meetings.
Youngsters were asked to write all the letters of the alphabet in order, in lower case, in one minute. They were told to go ‘as fast and carefully’ as they could and to keep going if they made a mistake

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
