Cursive writing is taught at all levels and incorporated into reading/writing lessons and critical thinking. CursiveLogic teaches the essential structure of the cursive alphabet. The instruction method has two key features: four basic shapes comprise the entire lowercase alphabet. Teaching similarly shaped letters in one lesson streamlines and shortens the learning process, rather than teaching letters one at a time. CursiveLogic teaches all the letters that share a common shape as a connected string. Writing similar letters as a connected string allows proper formation of each letter to reinforce the proper formation of every other letter in the string. Learning the letters in strings also means students write cursive from the beginning. Students never write disconnected letters in CursiveLogic. CursiveLogic engages every learning style by seamlessly combining visual, auditory, verbal, and kinesthetic elements, making it possible for every student to succeed and enjoy the process through:

• Color - Each shape category has a theme color that aids learning and reinforce memory. Bright orange, lime green, silver, and mauve capture students' attention. Using colored pencils and pens can add even more to the learning and the fun.

• Catch Phrase - Each shape category has a "catch phrase," which is a verbal cue that students repeat while forming the letter strings. Verbal task analysis, or speaking out an action while performing it manually, solidifies muscle memory. It also provides a mnemonic to associate with each letter. Students repeat the catch phrases any time they need help forming a letter.

• Movement - CursiveLogic applies the fundamental principle of muscle memory. Finger tracing exercises and gross motor activities support students in internalizing the correct formation of the four basic Cursive Logic shapes and letter strings.

• Logic - CursiveLogic shows students the big picture in a way they can easily understand. When the system "clicks," cursive letters no longer seem random. Students "get it" and feel empowered.

• Real Words — Because CursiveLogic teaches six connected letters in the first lesson, students can write real words in cursive at the end of just one week. Immediate payoff is exciting and motivating! Cursive no longer feels like a daunting or frustrating task. Instead, cursive engenders confidence and feelings of success!
