Resumen

To achieve effective communication through handwriting, the writing needs to be readable and fluid (Barnett, Henderson, Scheib & Schulz, 2009). For many years, it has been usual to evaluate the readability of handwriting and, lately, tests have been developed that evaluate fluency/speed of handwriting, among others, the HST test in Australia (Wallen, Bonney & Lennox, 1996), the PALII test in the United States (Berninger, 2007) and the DASH test in the United Kingdom (Barnett, Henderson, Scheib & Schulz, 2007). The measurement of the handwriting fluency is simple and its effects are important in schooling: there are many works that must be handwritten, it is necessary to take notes and children have to respond in a time frame. In addition, according to studies carried out from the neurodevelopmental view of writing, the handwriting fluency affects the quantity and quality of the generation of texts until the age of 16 (Berninger & Swanson, 1994; Berninger & Graham, 1998). On the other hand, it is known that the speed of letters increases course after course, at least until the secondary years; and as it has been proven at international level, there is a gender-gap at this point: boys’ results are significantly worse. In this article, first we will define the constructs of legibility and fluency/speed of handwriting. Afterwards, we will underline the importance of identifying the handwriting fluency and finally we will show the handwriting fluency results obtained in The Basque Autonomous Community (EAE), according to course and gender.
