Visual Dry-Erase Magnetic Boards- Cursive- 2 Pack

We use this for my oldest (13 years) who struggles with cursive. She has improved immensely in her cursive penmanship.

Buying this little tool as we are going back to the Blumenthal, “How to Tutor” approach that was so helpful& effective in our early homeschooling. Teaching manuscript AND cursive to children is a relatively new practice. Manuscript was for printing presses with the demand & limitations of typesetting requiring a strict separation of letters, & learned by adults going into certain specialties like drafting and architecture. Cursive is actually designed for human writing with a minimum of strokes & easy flow that is quicker& easier to do physically. A lot more attention is being paid to posture & such again these days to avoid many common later problems in physical misalignments that can cause pain, shallow breathing & even asthma, digestive issues; in injuries caused by habitual poor posture & the resulting poor muscle tone & training; carpal tunnel & such things……as well as to the inability of people to write & read cursive. Surprisingly good cursive handwriting training with proper posture from an early age can help avoid those things even more than, or in tandem with, sports training. — It used to be that it was the handwriting taught all children which minimized confusion & freed up learning time for content & literacy rather than mechanics. We’ll be teaching both. but focusing on mastering cursive. Even when folks use manuscript printing, they tend to connect letters & to add cursive mechanics naturally for speed and efficiency. In the same way, ‘sports’ was often child-organized & -initiated with things like sandlot baseball….an outlet & true recreation rather than an end in itself requiring adult coaching& bringing unnecessary & unnatural demands & pressures along with it, supporting entire industries & having nothing to do with the actual well-being or needs of the child. — This is a back to the basics, common sense, nexpensive, effective & reusable little people tool which can be passed on & which causes the child to focus on forming letters & then words without the distractions of dancing teddy-bears or the type of burlesque that used to be relegated to the red-light districts which only hinder & create unnecessary dependencies for little children who then go on to grow in size alone & not in maturity or in the mastery of real abilities necessary to the maintenance of a free & literate society. Not a tool that will put words in their mouths, do their ‘imagining’ for them, correct grammar & spelling never learned….and frequently corrected in error by AI, or that will set limits on what they really learn & master for themselves.

My grandkids love them!
