Happy National Handwriting Day! Check out these reasons why handwriting matters, along with fun ways to celebrate it with your children.

01/22/2024

How will YOU celebrate tomorrow? https://nationaltoday.com/national-handwriting-day/ From Learning without Tears: There are several research studies that indicate that explicit handwriting instruction and handwriting practice have many educational benefits. Specifically, children who learn to form letters properly have more success reading and spelling than those who do not receive instruction and practice. When students learn to form letters while learning letter sound correspondences, the reading circuits in the brain that promote literacy are activated. https://www.lwtears.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbYaGJH98NmM4VlcR2tfR-RfCjVFN6T_cyWchyVyYk94Vg0zExdYUz8aAvnUEALw_wcB

From our friend Joy Granade: Tip #1 - Move. It doesn't have to be a long workout, just a 10 minute walk around the block can help you reset and re-energize. See if a friend or spouse will watch the kids for a few minutes, pack the kids up and take them with you to the park, or even have a quick dance party together at home.
