My daughter is going into the third grade. She has always done really well but gets marked down because she works very slowly and meticulously. I and her previous teachers have tried ways to help her move along but she refuses to hurry because she wants to make sure what she does is right. With going into the third grade I am worried that because of this she could start to fall behind. Any suggestions on what could help her work faster?

Don't rush her. It only makes her feel bad pyschologically. If your teacher thinks she can make it to third grade, she will be able to do it.
Kids change rapidly even in learning. In third grade, she will pick up faster than you think.
If you really want a method, the only thing you can do is to stay with her, less TV, games. Keep a fixed schedule. That should work out. But don't rush her into things. This deals with her personality or her ability!

First you should verify that she doesn't have a mild form of learning disorder. Because if she does, your pushing her could make her move backwards.
Would there be any way for you to make her working faster at home fun? Maybe use a timer to keep track of how quickly she is working and challenge her to pick up the pace. A fun reward at the end of the week for improvements.
A more cruel suggestion would be for the teacher to give the entire class a window of when to complete work by - she could then collect it. Your daughter would then be graded on incomplete papers and probably wouldn't like the results. That might motivate her to move more quickly.

I personally don't think anything is wrong with that, that's very good that she takes her time in what she does, but since this is the beginning of the year i suggest that you first, inform the new teacher so that she can help prevent your daughter from falling behind. The new teacher may also be able to give you some ideas for helping her to move along faster.

Just let her go her pace because shes a kid for a little but tell her you dont have to check like every word for an hour.Tell her to write whatever on her paper and she doesnt have to be so cautess.(sorry im a bad speller at some words)

This will surely help

Try and add some incentive for making her do things faster...
she will eventually catch up...

give her some goals and aims, keeping encouraging her, tell her that she could write faster and be neat also. doing things fast doesn't mean being messy.
