Check out our "Practice Ideas" page to give you some suggestions. Remember to make it fun for them, a little writing at a time!
All good writing starts with good pencil grip. Teach your children how to properly hold a pencil!

Dear Cursive Writing Friends:
We hope that you and your family are staying healthy and safe during this tough time. We appreciate all of you participating in our contests and your support of cursive. Thank you. It will take some time to evaluate all the entries. Here’s an update on our contests: |
🇺🇸 USA: Our judges have all the entries and will determine the winners later this month. If your child or student is a winner, you will be contacted via the email address you provided us. We will work with you on a plan for you to receive your medal, certificate and prizes.
🇨🇦 Canada: Both the English and French contest versions have different circumstances. We suggest you contact Edda @ e: cursivecanada@gmail.com for English and Graziella @ e: info@graziellapenttinati.com for the French version directly for their contests.
Once all judging is done, we will be happy to announce that here on our website.

Connected writing is not merely a form of communication. It unlocks potential for abstract thinking, allows the human brain to compartmentalize, and expands memory capacity. It develops individual expression. Research indicates that printing and keyboarding cannot achieve this in the same way.
Our highest priority is to bring public recognition and awareness to the importance of teaching cursive writing to all kids, and even adults. This aim will be achieved through our sponsors and the social media exposure for contest winners on all of our "Campaign for Cursive ® " and "Cursive is Cool ® " sites.
The Campaign for Cursive ® is a committee of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation, a 501(c)6 business organization. The C4C team is a all volunteer fluid group, non-profit, and passionate about this cause. Who better to recognize that handwriting has been declining over the years than the people that are closest to recognizing it, right?
As an all volunteer group, we are always looking for helpers! Contact us!
