WELCOME!

There is a great deal of talk about education standards in grades K-12 today. Handwriting fluency is fundamental to all areas of elementary education, because children think and write at the same time.

When we teach children to write, we also teach them to express themselves. If they struggle with their letters, their ability to express themselves will suffer. Spelling and math will also be affected. 

Adopting high-quality standards for handwriting in elementary education can help all children in your school or district succeed.
