handwriting research“It is interesting to note that the [three] treatments with the largest gains all focus on teaching procedural knowledge, knowledge of how to do things. . . . [Free writing] does not help students learn new . . . procedures. Both grammar and models focus on learning . . . declarative rather than procedural knowledge” (Hillocks, 1995, p. 223)
