Have you ever wanted to learn a new skill?

This program is for grades 6-12 only.


Cursive writing is more than just penmanship. It is an integrated skill that enhances cognitive development, motor skills, and literacy. The seamless, flowing motion used to form cursive letters stimulates brain synapses and the synchronization of the hands and eyes, unlike the disjointed taps of a keyboard. Studies suggest that the practice of cursive writing activates areas of the brain involved in thinking, language, and working memory.
