Handwriting Success Builds Confidence in School

The kids at Scribble 2 Script are experiencing great success and I wanted to share some of the most recent feedback from our proud parents:

“Mason is doing so well in school this year and his cursive handwriting is so beautiful!  As his 2nd grade class learned how to write in cursive this year, his teachers would ask him to go around the room and help his classmates with their cursive practice as they worked their way through the alphabet.  It made him feel very special and important and for the first time, proud of his handwriting! He told me about it each time he was asked to do this.
And he is the only one in the classroom that is allowed to do his spelling tests in cursive because it is so precise and legible.  Homework has been so much better this year because of his improved writing skills.  He is able to sit and work much longer without his hand getting very tired and cramping up.  Thank you and especially Mrs. Nikki for the support and guidance that you gave him!  Hope you all have a wonderful end of the year!” -Heather Miller

“Thank you.  We are so pleased with Jake’s progress.  I never dreamed that we would see such success so quickly.  His attitude toward school has really improved, and his confidence has grown tremendously.”-Kathy H.

“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our daughter.  She {said the she} was really going to miss seeing you.  Aside from your skills and knowledge – which are substantial – you have an obvious gift for working with kids.  It has been truly a joy and a privilege to get to know you.”-Robert B.

We are SO proud of each child’s individual success and we are looking forward to continuing to help children build a solid foundation of skills for school success!
