• Handwriting

  Writing the Latin alphabet

  We take our 52 uppercase and lowercase letters for granted. However, these 52 characters may quickly become an obstacle for students whose native language does not utilize the latin alphabet, e.g. Greek, Russian, Japanese, Korean.

  We utilize a research-based handwriting curriculum that breaks up the alphabet into repeating shapes, making it easier to learn. Students of all ages will have fun and learn productively.
