Handwriting Without Tears Camp - Cursive Writing - Wexford
Event Description:
Handwriting is an important part of every child's development. Handwriting begins with scribbling and progresses to forming lines into shapes, creating pictures and forming letters. The letters then tranform into words, which become sentences.
Today, children are expected to develop handwriting skills before they enter kindergarten. The Handwriting Without Tears program was developed by Jan Olsen, an occupational therapist. This is a developmentally based program that progresses a child's handwriting along with a child's visual skills, providing your child with the necessary handwriting skills to be successful in school. Camps will be held at Children's Pine Center in Wexford and led by an occupational therapist.
Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Writing Camp—for children ages 7-10. The course is designed for children who have mastered printing skills and are ready for the next step. This course focuses on forming lower case letters and is ideal for those children who are looking for an alternative to printing in the classroom or require some additional practice over the summer.
Each course consists of sessions every Tuesday and Thursday for four consecutive weeks. The cost for each course is $175, which includes instruction, materials and home activities. A free, 15-minute screening will be completed in the spring to determine the appropriate camp for your child.
