My Project

I am so excited to show my students how to write cursive.

My students are so eager to learn and these workbooks will be the perfect support for that.

Writing cursive is a skill that seems to have been lost over the years, although it is so important. I have seen teenagers and young adults who can't sign their names because they have never learned. I also have seen students struggle to read various things due to the font being in cursive. I want to those limitations of my students disappear. The workbooks will be used in class but also sent home for continued practice. The pencils and sharpeners will help support their writing with sharp points and fresh erasers. Thank you for considering donating to my project and support my future cursive writers!
