Now in its 41st year, observance of National Handwriting Day has been recognized by the US Congress. Our American "National Handwriting Day" has grown to "International Handwriting Week" celebrated by Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chili, Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, Israel, India, Malaysia, Philippines, and other areas around our globe. The value of the neurological and kinetic process of "writing", especially in cursive, astounding! States are creating legislation and school districts are re-introducing Cursive to the curriculum!

Having a good handwriting is not that important, at least not to me. I mean, think about doctors, they do not have the prettiest handwriting, but they still do their job. Well, there are still some jobs that require a neat handwriting, but they are not that popular. If you are someone who takes a lot of importance to handwriting, then that is okay too. Personally, I could not care less about my handwriting, but that is just how I feel.

Today I was looking at this page on Handwriting Day and realized AHAF is now 45 yrs.old.

Going on our 3rd year of the pandemic I wondered how cursive writing campaign was doing. When we are spending so much time at home now, it is a positive since parents or grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. can buy a beginning book on cursive handwriting teaching them a skill at home many children don't learn today in their schools.

I found that the Education Committee in Florida had passed laws to teach cursive Gr 3-4. When I questioned it they said they would look into it. Of course they didn't get back to me.

Pandemic and political fights have taken a lot of their time and effort right now. Public schools are fighting to stay open.
