Class Description
In this class your child will be introduced to cursive handwriting. They will also learn the proper hand grip technique and posture for correct body ergonomics to help prevent writing fatigue. Using a multi-sensory approach including songs, chants, clever sayings, and body motions, your child will more easily learn and remember the correct formation of each cursive letter taught. Working independently with the assistance of a parent or other adult, your student will complete handwriting cursive practice each week. The recording of each lesson taught will be posted to the classroom for easy review throughout the week. Parents are welcome and encouraged to assist their child with homework.
