Handwriting currently has a low status and profile in literacy education. This paper examines the situation of current handwritingpedagogy in England and considerswhy handwriting efficiency has been neglected. The paper goes on to identify a number of studies located in the domains of special needs and psychology which re-evaluate the role of handwriting efficiency.These studies suggest that handwriting ismore than just motor skill and may make a very important contribution to children’s composing of text. Existing research into the way handwriting efficiency affects composing suggests that further research, more appropriate assessment and focused intervention could allmake a significant contribution to children’s writing progress and might positively affect the progress of the many boys who strugglewith writing throughout the primary school years
