Recently, a new Young Rembrandts franchisee told me something awesome about her son’s university… Virginia Tech instituted a rule where all notetaking was to be done by hand. No laptops. No keyboarding of any kind. Just good old paper and pencil. (I assume pens are allowed. Haha.)
This holiday break is a great time to take the Handwriting Challenge. 7 Days to Better Handwriting is a simple and engaging way to help your child get comfortable with handwriting so he can concentrate on the rest of the learning happening in the classroom.
The laid back scheduling of summer can lead to some summer knowledge leaks. Lucky for you we’ve created a new eBook to keep brains active this summer.
To stop brain drain, kids need to keep writing all through the summer. They need to practice their handwriting and creative writing skills. The key is to keep it fun and light.
Kids can lose up to 2 months of what they’ve already learned over the laid back days of summer. Don’t let your child fall behind. We have created an eBook full of fun and free ways to keep the learning alive without sacrificing the freedom that no school allows.
We’ve had a busy year here at bettefetter.com. I’ve gathered a few of our most important posts to refresh you memory about what we’re up to here. There is more to come in the upcoming year.
Handwriting can sometimes be seen as unimportant in our technology driven world. For visual learners, however, the ability to quickly and legibly write down ideas that they are learning in school is essential.
There are significant benefits to writing by hand; the better visual students write the better they learn.
Visual learners can get so caught up in what they are writing that they miss some of the information coming at them while they are writing. But how can we get them accustomed to writing without making it a chore?
Its back to school time and the 7 Days to Better Handwriting mini course is a great way to get the kids back into writing practice.
