US Grade 3 - 4
Come join me for a fun, interactive course to learn how to write (and read) cursive handwriting. We will introduce basic strokes and then use those to form lowercase and uppercase letters. Each lesson will include demonstration and practice. I will provide a packet of handouts for the students to use during out time together. These can be printed weekly or as a whole. During the 10 sessions offered, all 26 letters will be demonstrated. We will also focus on learning how to write their individual names. Students will be required to spend an ample amount of time in between classes practicing what they have learned.

I have been teaching for 28 years. I have my Masters and my Reading Endorsement. I I have taught multiple grade levels over the years. I am truly looking foward to helping kids feel more confident and prepared for the school year ahead, plus I will be offering classes during the school year to continue that support.
Kids are being asked to know and do so much more in their education these days! I will do everything I can to create a fun, but challenging learning experience for all!!Reviews
