Logic of English's Rhythm of Handwriting cursive
"The innovative Rhythm of Handwriting curriculum uses a multi-sensory approach that helps students develop fluid, legible handwriting." The handwriting curriculum and kit is founded in a multi-sensory approach, and scaffolds young writers through a logical skill developing sequence, starting with large-motor movements and building up to writing with a pencil and muscle memory. The resource was created by a social entrepreneur and mother who had a vision of helping children learn how to read and write. Parents utilize the physical and guiding tools and curriculum to help their children develop handwriting skills. The website also includes online resources with insight on how to teach handwriting. The handwriting resource is beneficial for any children who need a bit of extra support or practice to develop handwriting skills, and for children who could use a scaffolded approach to learning handwriting. The resource would not be suited for children who do not need or want to learn cursive, or for children who learn best in the context of language and meaning behind their words, rather than by rote memory.
