Using the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment and Handwriting Checklist in Screening First and Second Graders' Handwriting Legibility

The purpose of this study was to determine appropriate screening tools for school-based therapists to use in assessing handwriting difficulties in children. Using the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment (MHA), this study examines the ranges of legibility of handwriting in typically-developing first and second grade students. Also, it evaluated whether the Handwriting Checklist that documents students' posture, tool use, grasp, and other components during the writing task accurately predicts legibility. Regression analyses found that the four Handwriting Checklist variables accounted for 23% of the variance in the legibility variable on the MHA test.
