讀寫草書 FLEX 課程：學習小寫字母

Did you know that learning cursive letters in a certain order makes them easier to learn? In this FLEX (video only) cursive writing class, students will learn American standard cursive writing including lower case letter and word formation. No prior knowledge is necessary, however learners should have adequate small motor coordination so the minimum learner age should not be much lower than the set recommendation. Learners in this class will watch weekly videos while pausing and writing the letters and words for the week. I will provide videos on Mondays but it is advisable that learners watch the video, possibly just partway to ensure the ability to excel before proceeding. Students will practice cursive in a methodical way, learning letters of similar formation at approximately the same time. Learners will be able to formulate words on the first lesson. We will begin with the letter “t” followed by “e” and “i.” In order to have interaction between students as well as with the teacher, we will ask each child to show their finished product each week. The teacher will provide needed suggestions for improvement. Cursive writing has been shown to improve focus as well as motor skills. Although we live in a digital age, handwriting is still essential for daily activities. Look for the next flex course in which learners will be introduced to upper case letters. Both classes are also offered as multi-day classes. Ask for a link if that is your preference.
