In this course, students will learn to recognize and create cursive letterforms, and to connect letters to form words as they complete fun worksheets and exercises. They’ll complete entertaining and engaging activities and projects to help build the motor skills and muscle control needed to become successful cursive writers.

Cursive writing has been shown to have a positive influence on children’s spelling, composition skills, motor skills, and word recall. It has been shown to assist the reading and writing skills of students with dyslexia. Researchers also found that cursive writing specifically, requires a coordination of brain and body that is helpful to learning. We are thrilled to be able to help students learn to write in cursive, granting them access to all these important benefits that will enhance their education long after they’ve completed this course.  

When students have learned to write in cursive, they’ll also be able to read in cursive, and so towards the end of the course we will go over some of the important historical documents they’ll be able to read with their new skillset.
