Ep #436: The Science of Handwriting: Why It Still Matters for Student Success with Holly Britton
About this episode
This episode explores the importance of handwriting in student success with expert Holly Britton.
Handwriting may be one of the most underestimated foundations of student success in today's educational landscape. In this episode, I sit down with handwriting expert and Squiggle Squad founder Holly Britton to explore the science of handwriting and why it remains an essential part of literacy, brain development, and student learning. We unpack the difference between handwriting as simple penmanship versus handwriting as a critical transcription skill, and why developmentally appropriate instruction is key to helping students build confidence, literacy, and long-term academic success.
