Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In Bagumbayan Elementary School Santa Cruz Laguna, most of the pupils in Kindergartensection Snow White has a handwriting problem. Because handwriting is such a complex skill, there are many children who have difficulty mastering it. This may cause frustration and distress and affect a child's desire to write.
