This blog is sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF). Our Main Objective is to raise awareness among educators and legislators of the importance of mastering cursive handwriting for the physical and emotional benefits in the development of the child. Our End Goal: Develop outreach programs to educators and legislators and lobby for retention/reestablishment of teaching cursive in the classrooms.

Meet Brainy, Campaign for Cursive's spokesbrain. We're working on our new website and plan to launch it on January 23, 2013. January 23 is National Handwriting Day, which was chosen by the National Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association in the early 1980s because it was John Hancock's birthday. You remember John Hancock, who signed his name so large and bold on the Declaration of Independence to make sure King George would not need his spectacles to read it.
In the meantime, please spread the word about our blog, and invite friends, teachers, parents, therapists, and anyone else interested in the importance of handwriting to join.

What does Brainy think of the graphologist who has an article at the following link? http://homeschooling.penelopetrunk.com/2012/12/20/you-dont-need-to-teach-handwriting/
ReplyDeleteThe article is not written by a professional graphologist, but a lay person who has done some reading about graphology and is expressing her own opinion.
