Handwriting is good for you! And it is an art that is in danger of being lost.
One of our readers, Irene Fenswick, sent me an excellent piece she wrote on the value of handwriting: 20 Ways Handwriting Is Good for You and Your Studying. I especially like her infographic on the subject! Thanks, Irene – happy to share it with our DRSB readers. As you all know, I am a huge proponent of teaching cursive writing in schools, and in keeping up your handwriting skills even in this age of computers. It’s good for your brain! Now, with everyone sheltering in place and staying home, why not practice and improve your own handwriting?
There are many books on the subject, including this one: The Lost Art of Handwriting. So pull out a paper and pen, and start practicing!
