Class Experience
Learn to write cursive using the Handwriting Without Tears method.  This method uses simplified letter formations that are much easier to learn, especially for children with dysgraphia or dyspraxia.  I use videos instruction, on-screen tracing, and worksheets in each of my lessons.

You do not need to be proficient in print before beginning cursive.  Cursive is a unique handwriting style that doesn't require prerequisites.

By the end of this course, you will be able to write every lowercase and uppercase letter, connect letters into words and complete sentences in cursive.

Disclaimer: My classes should not take the place nor be considered occupational therapy. I am an OT but am offering handwriting tutoring services on Outschool. If you have concerns with your child’s development, please contact your pediatrician.
