Welcome to our cursive writing class for beginners, where we'll dive into the wonderful world of handwriting using the acclaimed Handwriting Without Tears method! Our goal is to make learning cursive a breeze, focusing on letter sets that are easy to write and frequently used to ensure everyone starts with confidence and minimal frustration.

In each session, we'll tackle a different group of letters. But forget about alphabetical order—here, we prioritize practicality and ease of learning. We'll follow a hands-on approach called Demo, Guide, Do: first, I'll show you how to write the letter, then we'll walk through it together, and finally, you'll have the chance to write it on your own. And don't worry—I'll be there every step of the way, modeling the correct techniques to keep you on track.

But that's not all! Connecting letters is where cursive truly shines, so we'll practice linking our highlighted letters to form simple words. It's like piecing together a puzzle of beautiful script!

And here's the best part: we'll move at the pace of the class. Your progress drives our schedule, ensuring each session is tailored to your learning needs. So get ready to embark on this cursive adventure—we can't wait to see you flourish with your newfound handwriting skills!

Please see below for the letter each class is exploring next.
