Saving Cursive: New Tools in the Fight for Handwriting
  • Date: Thursday, June 25, 2015
  • Time: 5:00 pm
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC

Digital technology and time pressures in today’s classroom raise questions about whether teaching cursive handwriting is relevant or worthwhile.  However, growing research says cursive provides benefits that keyboarding does not and linking handwriting to academic success.

Linda Shrewsbury, creator and president of CursiveLogic, comes to the handwriting debate with a tool to teach cursive in a fraction of the time it’s previously taken.  She will demonstrate her intuitive approach for teaching cursive handwriting.  Consider this event one step towards preserving cursive for the next generation.

This program is presented by the National Archives in partnership with Fahrney’s Pens.
