Logic of English Rhythm of Handwriting Cursive Student

By Denise Eide

The Logic of English Rhythm of Handwriting program develops fluid handwriting in students of all ages. Letters are taught using a multi-sensory approach that begins with large-motor movements. Explicit instructions provide a clear understanding of how to write each letter and where it is placed on the lines. Shortened, bold instructions emphasize the rhythmic motions needed to develop fluid handwriting. Letters are grouped by initial stroke in order to simplify the learning process and encourage the development of muscle memory. This program is suitable for students of all ages who desire to master the cursive style of handwriting. Introductory pages are filled with tips and resources for the teacher, allowing the Rhythm of Handwriting Student Book to stand alone as a course for teaching handwriting. Rhythm of Handwriting Cursive Once students have mastered fourteen letters, they are taught how to connect letters at the baseline to form words. Enlarged sample words are included for students to practice "writing" with their index finger in order to develop a kinesthetic feel of the smooth and connected manner of writing words in cursive. After learning the lowercase letters which end on the midline, students are taught explicitly how to connect letters with a dip connector.
