Learning cursive is great for your brain! Research has shown that writing in cursive stimulates different parts of the brain than writing in print or typing. Writing in cursive also increases fine motor skills, as well as helps readers learn how to pronounce letter blends. Using the D'Nealian Handwriting method (where the letters are slanted slightly to the right as opposed to straight up and down), students will learn the fundamentals of writing lowercase letters in cursive. Learners will work on the joining strokes required to turn most manuscript letters into cursive. We will warm up with practicing these strokes before each letter. Through repetition and practicing the fundamentals, your learner will see progress in their cursive writing. Since most letters are made with one continuous stroke, children using the D'Nealian method establish a smooth, rhythmic flow of writing from the beginning. Continuously practicing the basics will lead to beautiful handwriting! This class is designed for learners who are learning cursive for the first time, or those would just like some extra practice. The goal is for learners to greatly improve their personal legibility - practice does not make perfect, but rather progress. Join at any time! I would love to help your learner with one cursive lesson, or the entire course! Each lesson stands on its own. Each week, learners will be taught how to write a group letters. We will work on individual letters and/or short words. In each lesson, learners will have a chance to share their progress with others, converse with their peers, and practice the kind skill of cheering for the success of others. Learners will also work on holding their pencil properly and proper posture while writing. Letters are taught by similarity in formation - handwriting is much more meaningful to children when they are able to say, "Look what I wrote in cursive! This says jump!", for example. I look forward to helping you grow and improve! Materials: Lined paper Recommended: Printed lined paper found in the classroom -- however any lined paper will work just fine (perhaps your learner has a notebook they'd like to use for each class to keep track of their progress in cursive). Sharpened pencil (Please make sure pencil is sharpened before class) **Once enrolled, please watch the class video for further details :)
