Cursive Made Fun
Online handwriting course for kids
Let us teach you our easy, engaging technique for success!
Tried & True Method Designed by OT Experts
We have taught hundreds of children how to gain confidence and take pride in their handwriting. Through our experience, we've found this method easier to teach and fun to learn.
Why Is It Different?
-
Letters are grouped by the similarity of their lead-in stroke and not by their position in the alphabet A-Z
-
The descriptive names for four letter groups enable children to master the lowercase alphabet quickly
-
By engaging children’s motor memory through movements of the arm/ hands/ fingers, they can relax as writing becomes more automatic
-
Both USA and UK methods of writing capitals included
Easy-to-Follow & Fun to Learn Program
This program includes eight instructional videos, downloadable practice sheets and many fun activities like mazes. We use minimal materials and there is no need to purchase additional stuff! Practice can take place at the kitchen table, on a whiteboard or outside on sidewalks.

What Kids, Parents and Teachers Say
That homework can be fun!
I learned the four logical groupings for lower case letters, many core activities that fit into the actual handwriting process and that homework can be fun!
I admire how you teach kids.
Trude, thank you for being my handwriting teacher. Your play equipment is very cool. I admire how you teach kids.
Positive force.
I feel that I didn't get a chance to thank you enough for everything you did for James during his lessons with you, you were a very positive force in his life and we are very grateful for the investment you made in him. I hope that he can continue his enthusiasm for learning at his next school.
Our students became confident writers.
Trude and Laura came to our school, set up small handwriting groups and our students became confident writers. The kinesthetic base, letter groupings, and calm but enthusiastic teaching styles helped our students progress. Over many years, Trude has given me countless suggestions for students she’s observed in my classroom. She also shared these methods with our whole faculty. Now a wider audience can participate!
