The transferability of handwriting skills: from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn

Do handwriting skills transfer when a child writes in two different scripts, such as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets? Are our measures of handwriting skills intrinsically bound to one alphabet or will a child who faces handwriting difficulties in one scri ...
