Learn to write a simplified, modern style of cursive! This course teaches your learner how to form all lowercase and uppercase letters of the English alphabet.  Learning to write in cursive will help you read cursive writing.  By the end of this course, you will also be able to develop your own unique signature.

Use any lined paper and writing utensil of your choice. Learn to write letters by repeated practice of a few different strokes. Letters taught together have similar strokes. Each week, on Monday and Thursday, I will post links to instructional YouTube videos I have created that teach several letters. These videos last around 5-7 minutes and demonstrate how to form each stroke, letter, and practice word. The videos also include oral instruction. Opportunities to practice abound throughout the video and should last until your learner can write each stroke, letter, and word correctly and comfortably! I am available should you require any assistance!
