CDI offers handwriting classes every summer. The link below is from a NY Times article about the value of handwriting. The common core embraced in many states deemphasizes handwriting, even though research shows that handwriting is important for brain development and various cognitive functions. Studies show that cursive writing plays a role in thought processes. It requires different brain functions than printing or typing on a keyboard. In addition, children who learn to write first learn to read at a faster rate. Handwriting helps our brains recognize symbols, analyze patterns and retain information. In other words, it helps us think better. nytimes/2014/06/03/science/whats-lost-as-handwriting-fades.html?_r=0
