Dear Friends,

Welcome to the spring edition of Frog Jump Gazette. In this issue we’re looking at technology and handwriting. Both are part of everyday life, but even in a high tech world, handwriting is here to stay. Good handwriting positively affects children’s academic achievement at all grade levels. New research suggests that handwriting can even make you smarter!

Technology can help you teach handwriting. Try our Digital Teaching Tools, with your interactive whiteboard. Take advantage of our free two-week trial and try the new website. It will take you to both Handwriting Without Tears, our K- 5 curriculum, and to Get Set for School our newly expanded Pre-K curriculum. It is now easier than ever to browse either curriculum, shop, watch videos, find workshops, and access free resources.

All the best,

Jan Z.
