- Campaign for CursiveThe Campaign's Vision: Handwriting is a life-long skill that should be available, taught, and practiced as part of a basic education for all children, regardless of whether they receive their education through public, private or home-schooling. We want to connect with legislators, corporations, associations, parents, educators, grandparents and all who believe our kids deserve to know how to read and write cursive.
- Cursive LogicA method for learning cursive - "Rather than teaching the letters alphabetically, CursiveLogic groups the lowercase alphabet into four groups based on the shape of the initial stroke of the letters and teaches all of the similarly-shaped letters in a single lesson. Letters are also taught in a specific order that reinforces the pattern."
