My daughter starts 3rd grade this week, my son 2nd. Can you believe that neither of them have learned a lick of cursive in class yet?! I was writing in cursive by their age and right now it is questionable as to whether or not it will even be taught in their classroom!
So I was very happy to team up with BIC on this campaign to save handwriting in schools!
These days everyone is so technology focused. I am all for technology and the internet, I mean, hellooooo, I’m a blogger right?! But let’s get real here, do young girls sit on the computer and write a journal? Not really. The cool thing, the SECOND my little set of BIC pencils and notebook came in for this campaign, Kylie swooped them up.
That night I found her in bed, writing. Not in cursive, but nonetheless, writing about her day. I encourage her to do this everyday.
The kids both have gotten more into coloring lately which I love (less screen time!) but one of the biggest hurdles with my son is getting him to WRITE. He will draw all the time, but words… eh, not so much.
You know what seems to be breaking through that? Telling him to write his own comics! I highly recommend it if you have a little guy or gal that doesn’t seem interested in story writing.
