Handwriting

Here in St. Patrick’s BNS, we will teach your child to write using a cursive (joined) script from the beginning. Learning cursive handwriting from Junior Infants has many benefits including:

Relative ease in introducing cursive penmanship in early childhood.
Prevents reversals and confusion of letters.
Enhances spelling ability.
Develops internal control systems that can be used as tools for learning.
Potential for errors is diminished.
Improved reading skills.
Reinforces the skills for patterns in reading and writing.
Prevents erratic spaces between letters and words.
Helps Left Handed Children.
Thoughts can be put on paper more quickly and easier.
