Linda Shrewsbury has raised more than $28,000 for the CursiveLogic workbook.
It has been a trend as of late for educators to eliminate cursive handwriting from their school curiculums. Shrewsbury hopes to address this issue with this book. The money from this campaign will be used to cover the costs of development and printing. We’ve embedded a video about the project above.
Here’s more from the Kickstarter page: “Cursive handwriting is becoming a lost art. With the near universal use of word processing and ever-increasing pressures on classroom time, many schools have removed cursive from the curriculum. Why, they ask, should students learn to write in cursive in the age of tablets and iPhones? While electronic devices have added an element of convenience to the writing process, evidence is mounting that putting pen to paper has benefits that typing cannot replace.”
