I have always been a believer that longhand/cursive should still be taught in schools. I know, I know ... this is the electronic age. But don't they still teach math even though we have calculators? Anyway, the Wall Street Journal recently posted an article about handwriting and an excerpt from the book Script & Scribble. I am attaching the link to the excerpt here. This summer we are going to be offering some longhand/cursive workshops in our store for kids. Call us at the shop or e-mail us (paper@bennettschneider.com) your interest and we will make sure you get on our e-mail list! Think - you or your child could someday write like this...

As SCRIPT AND SCRIBBLE itself points out, research shows that the fastest and clearest handwriters avoid cursive. Highest-speed, highest-legibility handwriters tend to join only some letters -- making the easiest joins, skipping the rest -- and to use print-like shapes of letters whose printed and cursive shapes "disagree."
