September 2nd, 2015 – Slowly but surely handwriting is becoming a lost art.
I thoroughly appreciate good handwriting skills and know a few people who are so skilled, their writing is art. Sadly, cursive penmanship isn’t even taught in school anymore, kids today are more proficient at texting and may never know the joy of a handwritten letter.

I am happy to say my kids are in a school that teaches handwriting as part of grade 3 curriculum. My daughter was thrilled to learn handwriting last year.
My kids have both been taught penmanship. Less in a regular school but in the traditional program it was big.
What is also interesting is that there is a very solid link between writing pen to paper and recall, a much stronger link than they find with computer note taking.
