In an age dominated by typing and texting, the art of cursive handwriting may seem like a relic of the past. However, recent research suggests that putting pen to paper can have significant benefits for memory and learning. A compelling article published in the Deseret News highlights the cognitive advantages of handwriting over typing, especially when it comes to retaining and processing information.
As we increasingly rely on digital devices for communication and note-taking, it's important to remember the power of traditional writing methods. That's why we're excited to announce our upcoming Virtual Cursive Camp - a one-hour Zoom workshop designed to help you elevate your handwriting skills and tap into the brain-boosting benefits of cursive!
Join us on June 26th at 11am MT / 12pm CST for an interactive session led by our certified American cursive instructor, Cheyenne. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, this workshop is perfect for anyone aged 8 and above who wants to develop a beautiful and consistent script in the traditional handwriting style.
The Deseret News article cites several studies that demonstrate the cognitive advantages of handwriting. For example, research has shown that students who take notes by hand tend to have a deeper understanding and better memory of the material compared to those who type their notes. The act of forming letters and words manually engages the brain in a way that typing on a keyboard does not, leading to enhanced learning and retention!
By participating in our Virtual Cursive Camp, you'll not only improve your handwriting skills but also give your brain a valuable workout. Cheyenne will guide you through the basics, providing tips and techniques to help you master the art of cursive writing. All you need is a pencil and a desire to learn - we'll provide FREE printable practice pages to use during the class and as you continue to refine your skills.
Don't miss this opportunity to rediscover the lost art of cursive writing and experience the cognitive benefits for yourself! Invite your friends and family to join in on this educational and entertaining experience. To secure your spot, simply RSVP to the event and click the registration link. We'll send you the Zoom link and printable practice pages straight to your inbox.
