30-minute practice for grades 2- 5

Cursive for Kids is a series of  workshops for children to practice writing the letters of the alphabet. Then progress to writing simple words and short sentences. Writing cursive uses fine motor skills. Studies from the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience suggest that writing by hand increases brain activity and memory of concepts.

Online Registration is required.  Space is limited.
