Harcourt Assessment (PsychCorp) lists the following handwriting tests: harcourtassessment.com/hai/Images/pdf/catalog/2006OTCatalog.pdf
(1) Minnesota Handwriting Assessment (Reisman J)
Use the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment with first and second grade students to analyze handwriting skills, including standard manuscript and D'Nealian styles of print. This test has normative information, substantiating its test/retest reliability. Use the test to identify how students are performing in relationship to their peers. It also demonstrates progress as a result of intervention.
(2) Shore Handwriting Screener: For Early Handwriting Development (Shore L)
This early administered screening tool enables you to examine handwriting skills of children from preschool to third grade.
(3) Big Strokes for Little Folks (Rubell BL)
Develop letter and number formation by grouping symbols according to similar characteristics. Use this developmental training program to prepare children ages 5 through 9 for handwriting. Improve children's spontaneous, legible manuscript letter formation and placement. Guide students to printing each letter of the alphabet and (optionally) numbers 1, 3, 4, and 6-8. Children will find the creative activities in this product fun and challenging.
This program is designed for children who already recognize most letters but have had limited success in learning to form them. The manual includes a timeline for normal writing development, and 133 reproducible worksheets for use in practicing skills.
