SmithHand The Cursive Writing Methos that Works!

by Bruce C. Smith, Ph.D Author

What is SmithHand? SmithHand is a new method for teaching handwriting. Because SmithHand is a true cursive hand instead of a copy hand (like other methods) it's achievable as taught and therefore needs to be taught only once. It can be written with speed yet retains its legibility. It is written with the natural motion of the hand and uses the stroke over which the writer has the best fine motor control. It results in flowing, elegant, practical handwriting. SmithHand writing.. . We call it the "phonics" of penmanship
