Pupils with dysgraphia have difficulties with written expression. Their handwriting is shaky, untidy. Already in the first grade, we can witness the difficulty of learning to write individual letters, connect them or distinguish their size.

Teachers help pupils with dysgraphia since the beginning of learning to write, mainly with the development of motor skills and relaxation of the hand they use to write. 
If the dysgraphia difficulties continue to the second level, it is a good idea to help the pupils by: 

• Giving them printed notes with additional tasks concerning the text 
  
• Providing them with partially filled notes with empty spaces for keywords to fill based on the teaching 
  

It is recommended that these students still practise the skill, not avoid writing completely!

Basic principles of working with pupils with dysgraphia: 

• Respect slower working pace
• Prefer quality over quantity
• It is not recommended for a pupil to finish his/her homework during breaks or after classes
• Cursive writing is an essential skill that a pupil needs for ordinary things like his own signature. Yet, for everyday use, it can be substituted by writing on a tablet/computer
