The Cursive Fluency Project

The Cursive Fluency Project survey study has begun. Close to ninety teachers have registered to participate and slowly but surely are getting started with the special exercises provided in the Fluency Builder Kit. It is not too late to get involved so please read on.

If you have students in grade four or higher, who are reluctant or unable to use cursive despite having studied the process, you can learn about the project, watch a video demonstrating the exercise procedure, register for the project and download the free materials kit from the project web page.

The 12-week exercise program uses high-frequency words that all intermediate students should already know. You can begin at any time. Data can be submitted for the study until the end of March 2012. We encourage your participation.

If you suspect that cursive should be a better tool for composition than primary-grade printing, this exercise program just might enable fluent use of cursive for your students. It won't cost more than a little time to find out if this program can help. Limited early data indicates the exercise process begins to produce results quickly. The kit explains the one-minute testing process that produces an objective measure of handwriting fluency.
