Teaching A Lefthanded Child To Write Cursive || apprendre à écrire à un enfant gaucher || 左撇子學連筆字絕非易事

in #education7 years ago (edited)

[ENGLISH] My grandson is a leftie, so teaching him to write is not an easy task. French people don't teach kids to print block letters. Instead, we start directly with cursive, which is much more attractive and helpful when it comes to learning to read (words are viewed as wholes, not as random collections of disjointed letters).

To maintain interest (my grandson is only five years old), I started by teaching him how to write his own name.

[FRANÇAIS] Mon petit-fils est gaucher: apprendre à écrire n'est donc pas une tâche facile. Nous les français nous n'apprenons pas aux enfants à écrire a l'américaine en caractères imprimés. Nous commençons directement par l'écriture cursive, ce qui est beaucoup plus joli et utile quand il s'agit d'apprendre à lire (le cerveau saisit les mots comme des ensembles, et non pas comme des collections aléatoires de lettres disjointes).

Pour éviter qu'il s'ennuit (mon petit-fils n'a que cinq ans), j'ai commencé par lui apprendre à n'écrire que deux mots en grandes lettres: son prénom (quatre fois) et “Maman” (deux fois).

[中文] 孫子是左撇子,所以教他寫字不容易。我們法國人不像美國人那樣教小孩寫方塊字(印刷體),學連筆字比較美觀而且有助於日後學習。首先要學的當然是自己(四次)和媽媽的名字(兩次)。

But very mischievous ;-) Thank you!

Hi @wentong-syhhae, I am friends with a master calligrapher and attended one of her workshops last Saturday. At the workshop I saw a mother with two young daughters aged 7 and 8 (I think) and one of them was left handed. I think they have attended a few lessons and the techniques they learnt for handwriting definitely doesn't make a distinction between being left or right handed, and their handwriting was certainly better than mine!

Thank you for including that link. I am definitely interested!
