Handwriting Camps

Reading and writing are probably the two most important skills that a person will learn in school. The abilities to read and write open up endless possibilities. I remember the excitement of learning how to write the alphabet and make the sounds of each letter. I also remember the exhilarating feeling of putting them together and being able to communicate by writing words. This was a huge milestone in my life; I gained confidence from seeing improvements in my handwriting and gaining the ability to communicate through the written word.
Because it is such an important part of life, it can also become stressful and problems may arise while mastering this difficult fine-motor skill.
